There is a way to select an aspect ratio before you crop, which is mostly what you want anyway, if you plan to print to a fixed size, e.g. 4 x6 or 5 x7. Go to the Help index for the marquee tool to learn how. Once youhave
made the selection that you want, Go to Image > crop, then to Image > resize, > image size: check "constrained", uncheck "resample" and type one dimension for print size. Read the resulting PPI to see if it’s > 180 to insure a good quality print. If its less than 150, go back in Historyand
change your selection.Or alternativly set the size of you print and the DPI in the crop tool control bar

None that I know of. You can see the linear dimensions of the crop in the info palette.
