What am I missing?

Mike,

When you select the Crop tool, there is a settings dialog?  (I do it from the toolbox).

On the settings dialog, there is a "Fixed" checkbox.  Check that, then select "Aspect Ratio" from the drop down to the right of it.

In the box below, enter in 8:10 or 10:8 or 5:8 or 8:5.  If you get the wrong one (is it height:width or width:height, I can never remember), you can use the "paper sheets" next to the box to make the selection.

Hope this helps.

Dave

I note that I replied to sender, instead of the list.  Culpa mea.
