Hi,
I’m looking for the syntax to choose the width to heigth ratio with the crop tool. In the french version of Photoshop I use most of the time, I put "3 po" for the width and "2 po" for the height if I want a crop ratio of 3 to 2, but "po" is not in the english version of Photoshop.

Can you help me ?

Thanks
Manu

Not sure exactly what you’re looking for.
Ratios do not need units; they are ratios. Are you looking for a fixed width and height?

If I just put 400 and 300 in the Width and Height boxes of the crop tool, the cropped picture will be 400×300 pixels whatever the crop box I draw with the mouse.
What I want is that the cropped picture has a fixed width to height ratio. For instance I want to crop a picture to a 3/2 ratio. I don’t mind if it’s 300×200 or 309×206 or 297×198, so long as the ratio is 3/2. In french I do that by puting "3 po" and "2 po" in the Width and Height boxes of the crop tool. I don’t know what "po" means but it does the trick. I’m looking for the translation of this "po".
sorry. Use the Marquee tool and select Fixed Aspect Ratio in Style. Then go to Image>Crop. That work?

I don’t know what po is. Points? Where did you get that in the first place?

Yes that works. Thank you and Kingdom too !
I got it in a french magazine some time ago.

If PO works in the French version (what PS# version?) then I’d be surprised if there were not an undocumented equivalent in English. Somewhere. Time to break out the hex editor.

It’s short for _pouces_, inches (literally "thumbs"). In your English version, try "in". Any other measurement unit (except pixels) should work the same.
