Click the tool option for Fixed: and use "aspect-ratio"; and set the size to the size wanted (e.g. 4:6 for a 4" x 6" print, or specific size spec 2265:5385) Using a full pixel dimension will give you the most accurate aspect ratio if not a standard size.  "Click and drag" somewhere on the photo to create a selection.  Once created, you can click and drag any "handle" (hot corners) of the selection to grow/shrink it.
