I am having problem to crop using ratio instead of values of inches or pixels. In cs2 if i enter any values eg. 6 in width and 4 in height w/out specifying the unit it will use that value as ration instead, in this case 6:4. No resolution as i dont want to resample.
But when i tried this in cs3 it will use the value and i will get a 6 by 4 inches image instead of ratio.

I tried the crop tool in CS, CS2, CS3 and it works exactly the same in all 3 programs and it doesn't matter whether you enter no unit, inches or pixels, it will always start in the ratio as specified, so if you start with 1 px and 2 px, you'll have a 1:2 ratio.
so if you start with 1 px and 2 px, you'll have a 1:2 ratio.
Yes, the ratio will stay true, but once you apply the crop, it will resize based on the units, and I think what they want is to have it not resize after the crop occurs. I've run into this a few times myself, often in the middle of an edit, you want to crop out an area, but you don't want to resize or resample to do it... so you either have to figure out what units and resolution you want... or simply use the marquee instead.
No, if it resamples you have to make sure the resolution box is empty in the option bar.
True... I dunno... habit I guess. I'm usually either cropping visually so units and ratio doesn't matter or cropping for a specific output where it's strict... so I rarely need an arbitrary size with fixed ratio like that.
No, I just gave you the solution or am I missing something? [confused]
Sorry, from what I gather here, I will get the ratio during cropping but once I accept it photoshop will resize based on the unit used. So, if I enter 4:3 ratio (in width & height) and my ruler is set to inches, I will get an image with 4 by 3 inches. Still, this wont fullfil my objective.
If i leave the resolution empty it will not resample, so if i resize smaller i will get more pixels per inch.
