You can set up presets for almost any tool in Photoshop. Since the crop tool comes with some simple presets, it’s a good starting point. Choose the crop tool in the toolbar and notice the list of default presets in the tool presets palette. Standard photo crop sizes such as 4x6 and 5x7 are available. Click on one of the choices and the values will automatically populate the height, width and resolution fields of the crop toolbar. If you click through some of the other Photoshop tools, such as the Brush and Gradient, you will see more default presets.
