Totally noob, wanted to crop as photoshop but can´t
#1
My question is: is there a way to crop an image, like in photoshop, where you put the crop size you want, and it crops to that selection?

Gimp crop: http://imgur.com/c5HYTDh


Why the crop size isnt the same in photoshop and in gimp? And also, is it me or the quality is better in PS than gimp?  I am doing all wrong, right? Thank you for reading this n00b question.

 And have a nice friday, and better weekend in advance!

This is done with the Crop tool. Hard to compare image quality when the images aren't the same size. Since they are JPG, they depend on a "quality" setting you can set when saving the image (usually 85-90 is still very good quality while still keeping the file size in reasonable limits.

Thank you but for example, if i choose to crop for example a high res image to 1024x512, is there a way to choose like in photoshop?
See this . this is what i am talking about.

Why do you PS guys always have some weird setup for the Gimp interface, really it does not help. That was rhetorical - do not answer that Wink

Crop is the same as this, but it looks like you might want rounded corners so use the rectangular select tool. I detached the tool options to show everything, normally leave it docked.

The grid is common to both crop and select and has various layouts. Rounded corners are only rectangular select.
Using rectangular select as shown. Edit -> copy then Edit -> Paste As -> New image gives this.
