I have a photo which I want to select a portion of and keep it at a particular size - how do I do that?
For instance - say I have a 2048 x 1024 image and I want to select a 800 x 600 portion - how do I do that?
I can see how to crop a section but not to a particular size.

Click the rectangular select tool on the right and drag a box (anywhere on the picture) and watch on the right hand side under image info. It should tell you how big you are selecting.
Once you get to 800x600, let go. Then use the selection move tool (like the rectangular select tool but has the move icon on it). It won't move your image (If it does, hit Ctrl-Z and look for another tool). Move the box over to where you want the image. Then click crop to selection from the menu.
