If custom, specify the ratio. Adjust the size of the crop box using any of the handles. The aspect ratio will be preserved. Adjust the position of the crop box by moving it to compose the image. Apply the crop. If you want it to be destructive, do Rasterize & Trim. Or you can use Resample mode, where you specify the final size you want, and then adjust the handles,. The aspect ratio is maintained, You can move the crop frame to compose. Then press Apply. Selection is not the same as Cropping. If Cropping is the goal, I would recommend using the Crop Tool instead of a Selection tool. (As I did near the beginning of this thread.) But if you want to Select, you can use the approach @John Rostron suggests just above. Or you can use his approach, but using the Rectangular Marquee Tool to make a selection, then set its size in the Transform panel (as he described), move the selection to do your composition, then Copy, and File > New from Clipboard. Perfect. Thanks very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
