How to get easy 6x4" crops?

| Our digital camera doesn't have a 3:2 mode, and we're trying to minimize
the hassle of cropping each image to print on 4" x 6" stock. What we're
looking for is a PS plugin or action that will give us an exact 4x6" frame
for cropping, the size of which is dynamic (based on selected print
resolution). We usually print using anywhere from 300 to 480 dpi).
Any leads or info appreciated.

Select the crop tool and then create a new crop tool preset by entering the
measurements and dpi in the boxes provided and then saving it as a new crop
tool!

So you (allegedly) spent a fortune on the best image processing program on
earth, and you haven't studied it? Shame, shame.
It's there.

Yes. There's always someone with more money than sense. You be one.

Yeah, he told me. He's a bit miffed with you, however.

Nah, I got the answer I was looking for, from a kind and generous
soul.
I suspect yours has a much different fate from his.

I use CS2 as well. However, when doing a batch of crops I use a
freeware tool named "JPEGCrops." It quickly does lossless cropping
for 4x6 and many other standard sizes, including metric. Very easy
tool for selecting crop area and location on an image.

Create an Action. Have all the cropped images saved in a new directory.
