I want to use the crop tool to edit my image - I want the crop tool to maintain the image dimensions (i.e. 4x6), BUT I don't want the image to be resampled. All I see with the crop tool is that if I want the size to be constrained, it makes me pick a specific size, not an aspect ratio.

For example, if I say 4 inches by 6 inches and crop a very small section of my image, it will crop it, but then resample it and blow it up to a 4 inch by 6 inch photo. I really just want the ratio to be maintained. 4x6.

Is this possible? Seems like a basic thing, but I can't figure it out.

thanks,
tZed

Hi there
Try using the image size command to resize your images. (Image>Image Size). Now turn resample off and adjust the document dimensions and resolution as you please.
Regards

Hi tommyzed,
Set the cropping "Width" to "4 cm" "Height" to "6 cm" and (important!) leave the "Resolution" field blank.
