The crop tool in photoshop requires you to enter a specific width and height into the boxes. You then drag your selection and photoshop crops and resamples. I wish I could choose to have no resampling done.

Why the heck can't I enter a ratio as a crop size instead of specific pixel measurements. Say I want a 2/3rds shaped image for printing a 4x6, but I do not want photoshop to blow up or shrink my image to do it.

Is there a way to do this?

Use the selection tool, then IMAGE --> CROP.
This way you have much more control over your cropping, the crop tool is not very useful imho.
