[Photoshop-Haven] Re: crop tool - aspect ratio

Let me see if I have this straight.

Using the crop tool, if you enter a width of 10 and a height of 8 it will resample the photo (which is not what we want). If you set the width to "10 in" and the height to "8 in" then it doesn't resample the photo but it will reset the resolution (which is not what we want either). [In both cases I left the "resolution" blank.]

So, how do you crop to a ratio without causing a resample or resetting the resolution?
