Description Olivier Sessink 2004-09-28 12:27:56 UTC 
It would be a very useful addition to the crop tool options if it would allow a
fixed aspect cropping. Before sending images to a digital-print-service, they
need to be in 4:3 aspect. If I want to crop them, I now manually have to
calculate the right pixel values to keep or set the aspect ratio.
Comment 1 Sven Neumann 2004-09-28 13:08:55 UTC 
GIMP 2.1 allows to keep the aspect ratio fixed. Not exactly what you are asking
for but still useful. I am surprised though that no bug report exists for this
Crop tool feature since it has definitely been requested a few times already.
Comment 2 Olivier Sessink 2004-09-28 14:18:57 UTC 
I was surprised as well, because I hear from many people with digital cameras
they need something like that. 

How complex is the crop tool? I'm pretty confident with gtk (I'm author of
Bluefish) so perhaps I can create a patch myself...
Comment 3 Sven Neumann 2004-09-28 14:24:15 UTC 
A patch would of course be appreciated. Please see also bug #152048.
Comment 4 weskaggs 2004-09-28 15:27:15 UTC 
In the meantime, a workaround is to use the Rectangle Select tool, which allows
you to set the aspect ratio, and then Image->Crop Image, which crops to the
selection.

In an attempt to clean up the crop tool reports, I will mark this one as
duplicate of bug #131111. There is also bug #156858 which deals with further
improvements.
