Cheers. .
Thank you, worked a treat!

I make that 0.62 / 0.71 = 0.8732 (87.32 %)
Use Image -> Scale Image and in the dialogue break the link between Width and Height.
Gimp can do the arithmetic for you (*0.62/0.71) screenshot https://i.imgur.com/qHnJg2G.jpg
or
Change the units to percentage and enter 82.32 87.32 Change the interpolation to NoHalo and click scale. https://i.imgur.com/sY6vXpk.jpg
Note: Gimp works in pixels so there are often rounding up/down adjustments with image pixel size.
Thank you, and and as simple as breaking the link.
