&gt; 
&gt; 
&gt; I guess I'm kinda confused as to what I actually need to do.  
&gt; When I try
&gt; to crop to 4x6 in Gimp all I get is a tiny little square.  Since the
&gt; actual image is much bigger than 4x6.
&gt; 
&gt; The image I'm trying to work with is at
&gt;

&gt; 
&gt; You can see what I've done already.

&gt; &gt; 
&gt; &gt; Would probably have better luck with that. You can even 
&gt; read the exif data to
&gt; &gt; get the date using some of the other ImageMagick tools.

&gt; &gt; &gt; I'm trying to use convert to add a white border around my 
&gt; 4.0MP images. 
&gt; &gt; &gt; I then use GIMP to write a date on that border.
&gt; &gt; &gt; 
&gt; &gt; &gt; When I take to Sam's to print it wants to crop the image 
&gt; to 4x6, 5x7, or
&gt; &gt; &gt; 8x10.  This cuts off the top half and bottom half of the 
&gt; picture.  I do
&gt; &gt; &gt; not care about losing part of the picture I do not want 
&gt; to lose the
&gt; &gt; &gt; bottom and top border.  Is there a way I can use GIMP to 
&gt; crop the image
&gt; &gt; &gt; to a 4x6 size without it trying to size the image 
&gt; smaller.  I like the 
&gt; &gt; &gt; size of the image being big because I want to make sure 
&gt; there is enough
&gt; &gt; &gt; data there to print a nice image.
&gt; &gt; &gt; 
&gt; &gt; &gt; I'm trying to come up with a process to add a border and 
&gt; data to an
&gt; &gt; &gt; image before I print them.  I do not like the date on the 
&gt; actual image
&gt; &gt; &gt; so I do not allow my camera to create one.  I like the 
&gt; date on the white
&gt; &gt; &gt; border I've created.  Now If I can only figure out the 
&gt; perfect font and
&gt; &gt; &gt; how to position the date text in the exact center of the 
&gt; white border.
&gt; &gt; &gt; 
&gt; &gt; &gt; Thanks for the help,
&gt; &gt; &gt; Chris
