Hello, 

I stumbled across the problem that I had to crop image in a specific size (7x11 cm and 3x11) -  the steps: crop image - look up size - crop image - ... is quite tedious. 

It would be great if a method exists which:

1) offers a range of predefined sizes/areas (e.g. Postcard, A4, html-header-template)
2) offers a self-defined size/area for cropping

which can be moved around in the image until the perfect section is selected.

This way I can define that I need a subset of an image, let's say 5x5 cm, and move this area around the image until I found the perfect selection and then choose to crop it. 

thanks, Martin

P.S.: I apologize if something like this already exists, which I missed - but would be very happy to hear about it
