Is there a way to resize the cropped area to specific numbers? Say I crop to HD proportions and want to resample such that the cropped area is exactly 1920x1080. Obviously the entire image will be whatever it turns out to be, but I don't care about that when I export my file.

They way I can do it easily is to open the image in Image Editor, and set crop Lock on.
Type into the crop boxes 1920 x 1080.
Now draw your crop watching the pixel count to 1920 x 1080 as you slowly drag the crop box.
Then FILE, SAVE AS, and name it.  Then the next screen allows you to double check the resolution and filters. Make sure it says 1920 x 1080.
That's it.

Close, but I don't want to crop to a specific pixel dimension. I set the crop ratio as you describe, then crop what I need. At that point it's probably some much higher resolution than the HD format I'm going for. I was hoping to crop and resample in a single step. I can certainly save the file and then resample in a second go around, but I keep looking at the resolution boxes and thinking, there must be some way!

You lost me.
That is exactly what I did.
I cropped to the dimensions you specified, and resampled at the same time.
You wanted an image at 1920 x 1080.

I read from the quote above: .... "so that the cropped area is is EXACTLY 1920 x 1080."
See screen snap  attached. See where my cursor is? That says Resample using Fusion.

If that is not what you want, then please explain.

If you just want to crop to a 1920:1080 ratio and you are in the editor with the crop ratio set to that, after defining your crop you can click File, Save As, and after you give the file a name, it will give you save options.  One of the save options is resample: just put 1920 in the first box and it should calculate the 1080.

Regards,
Mike

Ah ha! I never got to that screen with the resample choice. Works a treat. See, I knew the problem would be me, not Qimage. Thanks Fred & Mike!
