Cropping and/or resizing for printing

[Josh66]

LR3 has everything you need...

It's been a while since I've used it, so I don't remember all the menus and such, but it's there...

Whatever the crop tool is, it should have options... Some of those options should be ratio and size...

edit
It may just have ratio. Size was done on export, if I recall correctly...

In LR3 go to tools and choose crop. Now in the developer tab you will see the cropping pane. Unlock the padlock on the right side of the pane. You will get a pull down menu that will let you crop to standard print dimensions. It will also let you set custom dimensions such as the 16 X 20 you mentioned.

Get either a demo or the Elements version of Photoshop. Select the rectangular marquee tool and you can set either the dimensions or aspect ratio to whatever you like, then drag it out and crop.

Which is what LR3 does which the OP already owns.
