Image size vs canvas size vs crop

I have a created a composite image which both image size and canvas size report as 14x11 inches at 300dpi.

However, when I lay an 10x8 inch crop box over the top it exactly matches the image borders indicating the image is 10x8 not 14x11.
This doesn't make sense to me !

The aspect ratio of both is the same. So the crop preview of 10x8 on 14x11 will be the same edge to edge.

However, when I lay an 10x8 inch crop box over the top it exactly matches the image borders

You mean click the crop tool then click the preset? Have you actually committed the crop?

The image should not actually become 10x8 until you click the tick or press enter (which performs the crop to the new dimensions).

Hi John,
Thanks for the response, I was using the 10x8 preset.
What threw me was that I was preparing template for collages in different print sizes. I knew that particular image was 14x11 so when I went to crop it down to 10x8 so I could rearrange the inserts, it showed the same size and I went huh ?
