If PSP has the ability to crop to a specified size than I would do that before sending them out to print
Exactly, when I load the photos onto my Computer I keep them all at the original size to enable multiple crops/resizing later. When I need to make a print I crop/resize it to the size I want for that specific print saving it as a different file rather than overwriting the original. That way some of my photos can be used several times to create a different effect or image without loosing anything.
