Crop tool - specify size of crop

[PutinHuilo]

When using crop tool it shows you the size in pixels that cropped area will be once you are drawing the box, but how can i specify exact size i want for instance i want crop box to be exactly 640x640px to crop the black box, if i type the size in upper left corner it will simply resize the cropped area to the size i have specified, but i need the crop box itself to resize to 640x640px any way to do it?




Here's template image.

Here are the steps I would take. I did leverage your image, starting with an 800x800 template with the smaller square internally:


I created a rectangular selection around the inner square with ratio 1:1 (though you could must do it manually by stretching instead).



I used Cmd+J (Cnt;+J on PC) to copy and paste that piece to a layer on top:



I Cmd + clicked (Cntl + clicked) on the new Layer thumbnail to create a selection around what was just pasted



Cmd+T (Cntl + T on PC to open up the transform tools



In the Options Bar I put in Height and Wdith 640 px so that increase the size to fit in the template.



Then click on the accept checkmark:



Note in general one can manually move and size with the Transform tool in case things are not lining up to the pixel in the image
Hope this helps

Maybe I'm lost, but this seems like a lot of work to just resize a layer to fit a border!

If I know that the ID of the border is 640px x 640px then all I need to do is to create a 640px x 640px rectangle with the Rectangle Tool

Frame...


Select the Rectangle Tool.
Click in the center of the frame.
Fill in the dimensions....


Done!
At the very least, I have created a 640px x 640px template that I can use for other things including cropping! Like cropping out the center area of the frame.


But I could be misunderstanding what your desired outcome should be!
