Here's the image I want to print as a wide 20x16" print (a very common size today, even
though it's based on the size of traditional film, not digital images, so you have to crop just
to make it fit). Start by clicking on the Crop tool (C) in the Toolbox, then from the pop-up
menu at the left end of the Options Bar, choose W x H x Resolution (as shown here).

Step Two:
This adds a Resolution field to the Options Bar next to the Width and Height fields. Type
in the custom size you want (in this case, 20x16" at a resolution of 240 ppi, which is pretty
ideal for most color inkjet printing) and it resizes automatically. If you think you'll be us-
ing this size again (and chances are, you will), click on the pop-up menu and choose New
Crop Preset ,name it, click OK,and it adds this new size to that pop-upmenu, soyoudon't
have to recreate it every time. You can click-and-drag the photo left/right to get the part of
it you want to appear inside the cropping border. Now press the Return (PC: Enter) key
and it crops your image to that size.
