There is an enhancement request for this already: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118775 What you can do is to use the rect-select tool which allows to set an aspect ratio and then crop the selection.

[Gimp-user] Aspect ratio Cropping
I've tried some of the cropping plug-ins but either I don't understand how to use them, or they don't do what I want. I have a "full frame" photo that I want to prepare for printing. The photo is 2x3 aspect ratio(so lets say 2000x3000 pixels). I want to print it at 3.5x5 (inches or 2000x2857 pixels). I want to position the crop in the photo - i.e. in landscape I want to eliminate a few pixels from the left and a few from the right. This isn't too hard to do with the current tools (could be easier), but lets say I want to crop just a face out of a photo of 3 people, but keep a 3.5x5 aspect ratio - I would like to be able to slide the crop frame around and see how it would look with 2 faces, or all 3,... Ideally I set an aspect ratio, and then can resize the crop frame on the fly while I decide on the best composition just by sliding the corner of the frame. Any ideas of an easy way to do this? - Timothy Jedlicka, [EMAIL PROTECTED], 1-630-713-4436, AOL-IM=bonzowork Network Entomologist, Lucent Technologies, Testers For Hire ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Any ideas of an easy way to do this? Double click on rectangle select tool. Click on " fixed size/aspct ratio" set desired ratio shift drag to the wanted size. alt+drag selection to final composition (if you are under KDE you have to turn off the ALT key effects underthe KDE control pannel) select crop tool drag a random amount, just for the pop confirm dialog to open click in "from selection" click ok. It's easier done than said - just go for it. - Timothy Jedlicka, [EMAIL PROTECTED], 1-630-713-4436, AOL-IM=bonzowork Network Entomologist, Lucent Technologies, Testers For Hire ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
