I have been asked to make some postcards for a non-profit organization from some of my photographs of their beautiful property. I have a Photoshop template for, in this case, a 4×6 postcard. The photo must be cropped to 4.25"x6.25" to allow for bleed and trim.
the question: I know that I can use the crop tool and "view rulers" to try to get 4.25×6.25 dimensions, and then move the crop box outline within my photo to select the 4.25×6.25 that most pleases me and minimizes the risk of having essential details from possibly being trimmed away, but I find it difficult to get it exactly right with the cursor control. Is there an easier way? to perhaps type in the dimensions into a dialogue box to get the exact dimensions I want for the crop box outline?
Thanks
Jeff
