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 4x6 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 4.25x6.25 dimensions, and then move the crop box outline
within my photo to select the 4.25x6.25 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
