Sven, when you click on the cropping tool, the menu bar above will change.
All you have to do is type in your required dimensions and your resolution
there. ie it says "width" and "height" and resolution.  For eg, for a 5x7,
just type in "5 in" in the width, "7 in" in the height, and say "300" in the
resolution and use the drop down menu to choose your preferred measurement
ie pixels per inch, or per cm.  When you go to crop the image, it will show
a box as you drag the mouse but you won't be able to deviate from the
dimensions that you entered above.

The second option is to use the image/image size tool and when you type in
your new dimensions select "constrain proportions" but that is only for
resizing and not actually for cropping.

Hope this answers your questions!

Subject: OT: Photoshop question


I have a question regarding Photoshop - I hope it is not too silly...

If I want to crop an image but wish to retain a (or arrive at a) certain
aspect
ratio - how can I do this? If I select a frame to crop to, I will most
certainly change the aspect ratio a little bit (even if I try not to) which
will then lead to prints of slightly different size.

Don't shout, if the answer is all to obvious, just laugh at me...

Thanks,

Sven
