By the way, I'd like to recommend a handy tool I discovered when cropping and resizing pictures for one of those LCD picture frames. It's called "Drag-n-crop" and it's free.
You put all the pictures you're planning to use into a directory. Fire up Drag-n-crop, tell it the dimensions you need, and the directory of pictures. It goes through quickly, allowing you to crop only to the dimensions specified, and saves the altered files.
Only available for windows and mac, at

...allowing you to take a very large number of images and reformat them all to precisely fit a given output device, in a short period of time while (and this is what sets it apart from similar tools) allowing the user to easily customize cropping for each image.

It shows you a picture, you drag a box which is constrained to the ratio of 600x1024; it saves the file and shows you the next one. Couldn't be simpler (unless it worked in Linux!)
