I want to make a rectangular selection, or crop, from within an existing image, for saving as a new image.
I can draw a selection outline/box/marquee or a cropping outline/box/marquee surrounding the desired area, but I then want to position each of the four sides exactly before saving the selected area.
Surprisingly (to me) I am not having any success in performing this very basic requirement.
Any version of PSP from 8 onwards.
TIA

Look at the adjustment controls in the Crop toolbar above your image. There you can make an exact setting of both width and height of your crop. Move your cursor to the middle of the crop box and it turns into the Move tool, allowing you to make exact placement.
