Russ,

Are you using the Marquee tool or the Crop tool to do the job?   The Marquee tool is only for selecting an area, not for cropping.

I don't know specifically how the crop tool works in PS5.5 as I jumped from PS4 to PS7, but in both versions I have a way to specify crop dimensions with the Crop tool.   In PS7 the dimensions and resolution can be set in the toolbar.   In PS4 dimensions were set in a separate window--see under "Window" in your toolbar or double clicking (or is it click and hold?) on the Crop icon should bring up the right window.

Once you have made your crop you should be able to Save or Save As in the usual manner.
