I would like to know if there’s a way to crop an image to a specific size without resmapling the image.

Let’s say I have an image that is 6.253" x 4.134" x 200dpi, and I want to crop it down to 6" x 4" x 200dpi. (It’s a 6"x4" photo that I scanned at 200dpi, and now want to trim off the white borders.)

Basically, it’d be like using the "canvas size" tool, but you’ld get to see and place the boundary by human eye.

Use the marquee tool with "Fixed Size" selected and set the height and width to 6×4 inches. Then go Image>Crop.

Thanks Chris… that’s what I wanted.

I still think it’d make more intuitive sense to encorporate that with the crop tool as well.
