Zoom cropping possible ?

[Graham00]

I'm using Gimp 2.6.4 and trying to bring the image forward without making the frame of the picture bigger as the jpeg is 10.2mp.
I don't want to take it to 'actual size' but sort of a zoom crop if you know what i mean. is this possible ? thanks.

yes of course it's possible, same as in photoshop

just zoom the image and use the rectangle select tool, then crop to selection from image menu - roughly same as photoshop
