As the title above, me question is how can i get the crop tool from cropping in inch, to an exact pixel?

Because as you can see in the image, I can cut half a pixel, and every time i need to line up the crop tool with the grid, and it's so annoying.

Is there any way to make the crop tool snap exactly at the pixel? Thanks guys!

One thing comes straight to mind

Guides don't snap to the pixel grid, but selections do.  Note I have dragged the grid zero point to align with the selection.  I can see that might be useful  at times.

With a selection in place, you can go Image > Crop and it will crop precisely to the selection

I probably should have mentioned that you  need to make sure Snap is turned on from the ​View ​menu.
