Count selected pixels in Photoshop

[@JessicaVenema-m4y]

You just saved my sanity. I’m an art teacher making a PixelArt image for my middle schoolers. I have a 64 x 64 pixel image with 3 different colors and I needed to know how many pixels I had in each color so that I can break it down for students to know how many squares in which color to create. Thank you so much!

I'm aware this is an old video, but I'm just not sure if I'm misunderstanding something. The pixel count does not seem to display accurately for me, at least not consistently.
To give an example of the issue I have:
I make a selection, AB, that initially has roughly 95,000 pixels according to the Histogram.
I split the selection into 2 parts, A and B, then select each individually. A reads as roughly 85,000 pixels, and B reads as 42,000. This means the combined added total for AB is 127,000, a difference of 32,000 pixels. If I select both parts together, A and B again read as 95,000 pixels.
I don't know if the error is before the selection split, after, or on both, so the data is totally useless.

This video was exactly what I needed to know to get a count of the non-transparent pixels in a fish-eye image that is not rectangular. Thanks!
