The whole time I'm thinking that you want to crop without resizing, so either using the marquee tool or leaving the box empty will work. So why do you bring up "if i resize smaller i will get more pixels per inch", I don't understand what that has to do with it.

Sorry my english is not so good;

1. If i leave the box (width & height) empty yes I can crop but i wont get a fixed ratio
2. If i leave the box (resolution) empty it just wont resample, nothing to do with crop ratio anyway

Thanks.

Ok, I will explain it one more time and then I give up.

First of all I never said that you should leave width and height empty. Check my example and you'll see that I entered 1 in and 2 in for width and height, this in combination with the resolution box that's empty will result in a crop with a ratio 1:2 without sampling.

No, of course it won't resample, because that's what you asked for.
If you want it to resample, then you could for example use px instead of in, because that will indeed resample the image.

Ahh, now i get it! My image's pixel dimensions will change in relation to the ratio but my document size will change to the new size (in your example 1 by 2 inches).
