btw you should specify the resolution in the box aswell

BUT, there will be fewer pixels

The only difference is the dpi setting, thus the 'size'.

NO loss, if all you set is the dpi - same as the crop tool does after it
removes the unwanted area[s].

IF you resample and try to generate new pixels, there'll be some changes,
but that depends upon the amount of cropping.

Cropping a 4x5 turtle from an 8x10, means you will have 1/4th the original
pixels and thus the image will have less apparent detail when printed at
8x10. Still the -=same=- amount of detail as you started with, just that
you've made it bigger - similar to printing the 8x10 at 16x20.

You really want to confuse the guy with this? He wants to crop an 8"
x 10" to 8" x 10" by deleting unwanted extra area. The above does
that. Assuming the original is sharp, he has a sharp new image that
is a better composition.

Yes, but it won't have the same amount of information, therefore it
won't be of the same quality, in precise quantifiable terms. However, if
the original is sharp enough, the difference may not be discernible to
the average naked eye.

It's kinda like HDTV. Most people can't tell the difference between 720p
and 1080i although there is a quantifiable difference.

As with -=any=- resolution, the viewer's distance from the display plays a
major role.

A cropped original that would have printed at, say, 400 dpi, now printing
at, say, 250 dpi is still close to the resolution of the medium.

A viewer at 10' can hardly discern the details between 720p and 1080p.
Note that 1080i is actually LESS vertical resolution than720p !!!

Now, put on a 15' x 26' sheet, then the audience can see the differences
between 720p and 1080p.

Thanks for all the input. I will try and find out and report back
