select rect snap to corner

I'm trying to use the "Select Rectangle" with a fixed aspect ratio. I would like it to snap to the corner of the image/layer. I have "snap to guides" set, but apparently the edges of an image don't have "default" guides. Is there a way to easily accomplish this?

I'm usually trying to crop a 4x6 image down to 3.5x5 maximizing as much of the original image as possible.

Thank you for a wonderful program.

You could use the to crop your image. For example, if your original image is 900 X 600 pixels, you would set the canvas size to 750 X 525 pixels (make sure to unlock the width and height first). Then use the offset section of the dialog to "center" the original image in the new canvas.

The development version of GIMP has this feature.
