[Gimp-user] Resize and crfop an image

[jellylegs7 <forums gimpusers com>]

Hi

I am very new to GIMP, and I am sure what I am trying to do is quite straight
forward but I can not work it out. Please help!

I have some massive images that I need to resize for a WordPress website feature
image (1200 x 600). I need to resize and crop them, but I would like to be able
to adjust where the crop ends up being so I can see clearly and choose which
bits of the original image end up being in the new version.  How do I do that
all please?

TIA!
