As of July 2024, Photoshop’s legacy 3D features have been removed. However, now in the Photoshop (beta) app you can seamlessly add 3D objects to your 2D Photoshop design using the Adobe Substance 3D Viewer (beta) app.You can use the Count tool to count objects in an image. To count objects manually, you click the image with the Count tool and Photoshop tracks the number of clicks. The count number is displayed on the item and in the Count tool options bar. Count numbers are saved when you save a file.
Photoshop can also automatically count multiple selected areas in an image, and record the results in the Measurement Log panel. See Performing a measurement.

Create a selection that includes the objects in the image that you want to count. For best results, use an image with objects that contrast well against their background.

For Color Range, set Fuzziness and Selected Colors to fine-tune the selected areas in the image (see Select a color range).

In the Selections area, select the Count data point and click OK.
