This is splitting hairs.
DPI is the term used by professional graphic designers when speccing for
print reproduction, even though the "dots" in DPI may be made up of clusters
of pixels. It harkens back to linescreens.

Hello Pat. My lab likes the images cropped at 200 dpi. when I'm working on

Are you certain you need a _specific_ dpi? Or is something _close_ ok? If
so, I'd honestly just constrain the select tool to a ratio for your
intended image size (8:10, 24:16, etc) and crop to suit tastes.

You CAN work in inches and your title bar can be changed to show the
original size in inches.
No need to work in pixels.
See attached jpgs.
Of course, small photos have to be scaled up to get larger sizes. GIMP
scales up quite nicely.
