Yes, it is... and I use Darktable and it's easy to crop to 5x4/8x10.

Well, if I crop 5x4 or 4x5, it's just that.  It's  4x5.  The print is a 4x5.  Not an 8x10.

If a customer orders an 8x10, that means  I have to recrop the image.  I've been cropping all my work 8x10 for around 15 years, for exactly that reason.  Why crop an image twice? 
 
I use ROES to upload my work to whcc.  If I have an 8x10, and the customer wants a 5x7, 4x6, 4x5, I just take that 8x10  image and ROES shows me those crops.

That's why I want a 8x10 crop in editing software.

There is no 8x10 crop that I can find in DT.

Any Linux users use Darktable?  I can't figure out how to crop 8x10 in it...

the logical place where it should be:

crop and rotate -> aspect -> 10:8 1.2 in print

crop and rotate -> aspect -> 5:4 4x5, 8x10 1.25

Ok, I must have been high... I knew where the crop function was, but never saw the 8:10...

Sheeeeesh

Carry on folks.  Nothing more to see here....

I'm trying move off the windows platform, and the editing part of my job is holding me back.  Just finished setting up a dual boot, because of the catalog work I have to edit.  Volume wise that is.  I'll have to do that in PS, but all else, daily work, I'm trying to do in DT.
