How can I crop pixels?

PSE 6.

I'm trying to use the Crop tool, but it doesn't work the way I want. I want the
cropped image to be a smaller sized file. What PSE does is after I define a crop
rectangle, it then resample the image to maintain the original pixel size. I
don't want it to resample. I just want to crop off part of the picture,
resulting in final size of fewer (unresampled) pixels.

In other words, if I start with a picture of 3000x2000 pixels and then crop
out just the center, I should end up with a smaller image, say 1500x1000.
But that's not what PSE does. It then resamples the smaller crop area to
maintain a total image size of 3000x2000. That's not what I want.

Here's what I want to do. Start with a picture of 3000x2000. I then want
to crop a rectangle of exactly the same aspect ration as the original (3x2)
and lose the pixels outside the crop area. The resulting pixel size should
represent just the area I cropped. No resample.

Is there a way to tell PSE I don't want it resampling my crops?

Thanks.

Thanks for your reply Paige. That does seems to help. The resolution defaults to
180 so I blank it and then do the crop. That seems to crop by pixels as you
said. All I have to remember to do is set it back to 180 when I'm done.

Thanks for the tip!
