How to crop an image mantaining sides ratio 1to 2/3?

[tiziano]

Is there a way in PS CS2 to force the Rectangular Marquee tool to mantain the sides ratio 1 to 2/3, so that I'll be able to crop, and the image will be ready for printing?
Thanks!

In the Style drop down, select Fixed Aspect Ratio, and enter the appropriate aspect ratio.

Just read it about one week ago on this forum and LOVE it.

it you have original image with 2x3 ratio:

choose crop tool (not Rectangular Marquee), select whole frame, hold shif + alt and drag any corner -- it will maintain ratio. THE BEST part you can move it around along any line (and size) you need to rotate, amd resize after rotating (with shift + alt) to final size with fixed aspect ratio!!!!!! LOVE IT!

if original image is in defferent ratio -- show the rulers, make free size crop with 2x3 ratio and use shift + alt to drag it to final crop.

Thanks DavidW and Supplier!

I have just tried David solution, and it's exactly what I was looking for. Now I'll try Supplier suggestion.

Thanks!

Thanks! Even Supplier system works, and it will let you rotate the image too. But it rotates the images of too big incremental steps, something like 30 or 45 degrees. Is it possible to have minimal angles?

any angle, just take a corner and move slowly

Thanks Supplier! I guess I wasn't that smart, last night! :o
