    <pre> If I understand what you're going for correctly, what you need to do requires a little more work.

    Here's one possibility:

    1. Create a path to the size of the rectangle you want and save it. 2. For each image, copy and paste the path to the new image. 3. Position the path by selecting the entire path and use the transform command to numerically move the path pixel by pixel if you want. 4. When you satisfied with the location, turn the path into a selection
    (you'll probably want to turn off anti-aliasing). 5. Then crop the selection.
