  cropping “window” with no resize/resample

  Posted by Eric Chard on April 28, 2008 at 10:02 pm

  Lately I’ve been wanting a very specific thing: to crop an image into a specific dimension, WITHOUT resampling.

  Ideally, I’d be able to type in some numbers into a cropping tool, and a ‘window’ would appear in the image that I could scoot around w/o changing its dimensions.

  I realize I could:
  MAKE NEW (at proper dimension);
  jump to old, copy bit I want + buffer area;
  PASTE into new and ;
  position via MOVE;
  FLATTEN to crop to size.

  But I’d rather find a TOOL method, versus a PROCEDURE method.

  Look in your options bar

  When using the options bar and specifiying the dimensions, there doesn’t seem to be a way to TURN OFF THE RESAMPLING. While the crop tool is restricted to the aspect ratio the user enters, the area is resampled to those dimensions.

  So, is there a way to turn off the resampling?
