Step 2b: Set Width and Height Resolution
An alternative method is to manually input numerical values for your desired aspect ratio. Change the width and height resolution choice in the tool options bar at the top. When you proceed to crop the image, it will follow the width and height resolution that you have set.

Step 3: Add a Crop Preset
If you have other images in the batch that would share the same width and height resolution, then you may need to save it as a preset so you won’t have to manually enter it every time. Select “New Crop Preset” from the drop-down menu. As a new window opens up, you can either let Photoshop set a name or have labeled it yourself.
