I want to crop in Photoshop CS, but keep the correct height vs width ratio so that when I bring my print in to Costco when they resize it for their printer it wont cut either dimension too harshly (I know it will probably cut a few pixels even at perfect size).

The way I crop currently is to simply use the select too (the arrow) and drag out a rough rectangle and hit image->crop. There has to be a more precise way. Any ideas?

Btw, lame wolf if you ask me :D
