The Crop tool's options includes a checkbox for Fixed: Aspect ratio and a field where you can type in 8:10 or 5:8 or whatever you need. ...Akkana ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I usually use the "Canvas Size" option for that, and then reposition the picture within the scaled canvas before clicking "Ok". But it's a bit tough to re-position the picture precisely because it looks so small in the dialog. I'd love to hear how others do it. I wish there was an interactive selection transform tool that I can use modifier keys with. -- Frank Gore Project Manager www.projectpontiac.com ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
