Re: [Gimp-user] cropping to pre-set aspect ratio

I attempted David Neary's workaround which was to first use the rectselect tool specifying the required aspect ratio. Unfortunately I cannot do this and I think my gimp is a bit broken. This is what I get:- --- /usr/lib/gimp/1.2/plug-ins/aa: error while loading shared librarie
