OK, thanks All, appreciate the support!

Thank you, totally get the Costco option, do it all the time...in this case I'm trying to "get smart" on a hopefully simple photo editing task to turn this digital image into a cropped standard-sized photo. I just tried Ego Eram Reputo's idea but the cropbox that size is too small for the image I want to capture...I went up a level and did 2800 * 2000 pixels and that is also not doing the trick...maybe the image I want post-cropping is just too wide for a standard 5x7. Any other ideas?

It's a jpg, 4032x1960, 993 KB...goal is to get a 5x7 pic printed that is still great quality...

I have a digital pic and want to crop and then print it out as a high-quality 5x7. when I click to "rectangle select" and then select "fixed ratio" with a width of 400 and height of 300, I believe that will preserve the overall ratio of the picture so that whatever image I crop I can then print out in a standard size. I may be wrong on this. Another option is to select fixed size, inches, and go with 5x7, but then the selection box is insanely small. How the heck do I do this? I've gone through the various parts of this forum and am no closer to a solution than when I started. Whomever tries to answer this, pretend you are talking to an idiot Cuz I am when it comes to photo editing
