Photoshop – How place Rectangular Marquee Tool on specific position

Edit – @mark Setchell’s solution below works great

I am using a fixed size style rect marquee tool and I want to place it at a specific position to then select that area.

I can see in “Info” the position i’m in but being precise with the mouse is not that easy. I’m looking for a way to enter the px position.

Thank you for your help

    You could use the Ruler (Ctrl/Cmd + R) draw the appropriate grid by dragging out lines and then use the selection tool. They will snap in place and should solve the problem

    You can draw a path using shape/pen tool, place it at required position and finally convert it to selection. For more details: Convert between paths and selection borders
