Actually the OP said he was doing RAW. In Adobe Camera Raw there is no such
tool as Jim said and that is not how you control the dims.

I love cropping in ACR: It crops at 100% and does not interpolate like the
Crop tool does in PS. And when I batch using Image processor and output to
a reduced number of pixels the cropping occurs before the resize so all
exported files come out at the exact dimensions I want. Perfect for web
galleries.

There's different options for cropping in PS, the one that upsamples
like that is seldom useful.
