In 2.0, you should use the rectangular selection tool with a constrained aspect ratio to frame your image, and then crop to the selection. In 2.2, you do not need to do this, since you may constrain cropping to a given aspect ratio.

Cheers, Dave.

you can configure the rectangle select tool to be a fixed aspect ratio. Then pop up the crop tool and pick "from selection"

Thanks Scott

Just choose Image->Crop Image or Layer->Crop Layer which will crop to the size of the selection w/o the need to switch tools.
