Rotate crop tool like on Photoshop? (lemmy.world)

Hi! I am very new to Gimp and Linux and working on getting used to doing things a bit different.

one of the features that I enjoyed on photoshop, was setting the crop tool to a certain dimension (in pixels), and in one go, both crop to the sellected area, resize it to the defined dimention and also freely rotate it (by dragging a corner) in order to level lines like the horizon or other image ellements.

I have been trying to use the sellect tool on gimp to achieve the same effect, and although I can set it to a certain size, I can't resize it. This means that it sets it to the defined size, but I would like it to resize the sellected area to the defined size

Also I was not able to freely rotate it

How would you go about this in the most effective way? I was quite used to that way and looking for a similarly effective method to optimize multiple picture editing. I don't mind multiple steps for one or ten pictures, but when editing 100-200 pictures, efficiency becomes quite valuable!

Unfortunately, OSS image editing apps have not yet had their renaissance.

Hopefully soon though.

All of those actions at once aren't possible afaik. But you should look at the unified transform tool which let's you rotate, scale, stretch and shear at once.The crop tool also has the options to delete the cropped pixels (instead of simply shrinking the canvas to the selected area).
