Nikon Capture 4: Aspect Ratio Cropping?

I'm a newbie that has used Photoshop CS's "aspect ratio" cropping and am
looking for the same feature in Nikon Capture 4 but can't seem to find it.
Would anyone know if Nikon Capture 4 has cropping by "aspect ratio?" It's a
nice way to make sure that the cropped print looks just like it did on the
computer monitor. Thanks.

Try holding down the alt key while shrinking the crop frame to lock the
aspect ratio. I'm pretty sure this works the same in both programs.

Agreed, not the best of interfaces/controls.

From the Capture help file:

Adjusting Size and Resolution
1 Display the Size/Resolution palette
Select the tool palette containing the Size/Resolution palette from the
View menu (the default location for the Size/Resolution palette is Tool
Palette 1) and click the triangle at the top left corner of the palette.

2 Make changes to options as described below

Keep the crop
When Keep the crop is selected, you can use the mouse to adjust the size
and position of the current crop as desired. If you enter a new value for
height or width in the Size/Resolution palette, the remaining dimension
changes automatically to maintain a constant height-width aspect ratio, and
scale is adjusted to reflect the new dimensions (scale can not be increased
beyond 200%). If the image can not be output at the current resolution
using the new dimensions, resolution will automatically be adjusted to an
appropriate value. This option is useful when you want to specify height
and width after selecting a crop.

......

Width/Height
The output dimensions for the current crop can be entered in these text
boxes. The units used to describe output dimensions can be chosen from the
menu to the right of the text boxes.
