How to increase/decrease the size in pixels of any selection in photoshop.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Do you mean expanding/shrinking the selection area?
Try Select > Modify

 

Once you have your selection, click on Edit / Transform / Scale. Then hold the Shift key while you drag in or out from one of the corners. If you drag form either the sides, or top/bottom, you will distort the image.

I am curently building Photoshop tutorials at graphicdesignrx.com. Feel free to suggest a tutorial you would like to see.

 

It depends how you want to change the selection. IF you want to do it manually, bric002 is right in terms of Edit/Transform/Scale etc - but if you want it to be precise, then go to Select > Modify > Contract/Expand.

 

also under select / transform selection, if you hold alt while dragging a control point it will scale the opposite side in conjunction with the one you are moving. kind of like a 2D transformation.

 

i suggest selecting what yuh want to increase/decrease and press CTRL+T
