Standard photo print size support

Summary:

GIMP crop does not support simple selection of standard print sizes, this liquid rescale tool could do this by resizing to standard print sizes.

Standard photo print size support

GIMP crop does not support simple selection of standard print sizes, this liquid rescale tool could do the same by liquid expand or shrink to the correct sizes selectable from radio buttons (e.g. 6x4, 7x5, 10x8 etc.) These would need to be in the select new width and height area of plugin dialog - in reality it is controlling the aspect ratio but users can understand the output sizes easier. "Expand to" and "Shrink to" would have to be an option to and possibly the dpi?

Thanks, this is an interesting feature, but it would require a carefully designed interface to fit in the current dialog (which is already a bit clumsy). I may think about it; however, it is probably best if the interface element would be a standard one from GIMP, just like the size selector is.
Did you try to submit an analogous request to the GIMP team for the crop dialog?
