Just open the image in CS, choose resize and make it 148 x 210 mm (A5) - double both for A4 etc. For print make it min 180 dpi. (300+ ideal)

When you select the crop tool, on the toolbar beneath the menus you'll see a few boxes for dimensions. You can put in "800 px" by "533 px" or "6 in" by "4 in" or whatever and the crop tool will restrict itself to that ratio
