how to define a crop area in pixels and have the 100%-sized crop zone? right now if I just type in the size I want, it gives me a crop rectangle with the correct ratio but unrestricted size, and it resizes to the specified size after cropping. I want it NOT to resize? can or not?

The crop tool doesn't allow u to do tt.
U have to
1. create a layer from background (if it's a background)
2. from the menu, Image --> canvas size
3. type in your dimensions
4. move the layer until u want the portion to be shown
5. flatten image.

Let me paraphrase for hwchoy 
By default, if you set your crop rectangle at 800 px X 600 px and crop your unresized original picture,
the cropped portion will be resized to 800 px x 600 px.
What he wants is to have a unresized crop which is 100% the actual size.

Tt's the rectangular marquee tool.
Dun think can crop using this method.
But can copy the marqueed area, then create new image, paste inside.

oops..my mistake. i did mean rectangular marquee :embrass:
anyway...after selecting the area you want to crop, select Image, Crop to crop the selection.

not sure about CS2, using PS7 here. i usually use rectangular marquee tool to do that. choose style->fix size, CTRL-C to copy, CTRL-N to open a new file, CTRL-V to paste. this way i never have to risk messing the original file.
thanx guys! learned how to use the marquee tool
evenstar, with the crop tool you can't fixed the size of the cropping rectangle leh.

If you want 100% crop (i.e. just a crop of original picture and no resizing), then only specify the width and height (in inches for the wanted ratio) but leave the resolution (pixel per inch) box blank :
