Use the Measurement Log (Photoshop Extended)
When you measure an object, the Measurement Log panel records the measurement data. Each row in the log represents a measurement set;
columns represent the data points in a measurement set.
When you measure an object, a new row appears in the Measurement Log. You can reorder columns in the log, sort data in columns, delete rows
or columns, or export data from the log to a comma-delimited text file.
