So, if I hear you right, you are saying that ImageMagick will also automatically crop the image so that you end with a 600x800 dimension?
And, does the user have no control over the cropping?? Because I'm not certain that would be a plus.
Here I've taken the photo and simply resized it to 600x800 without appropriate cropping.
End result ... the kid gets distorted.
This is as opposed to cropping and resizing in a manner that preserves the subject of the image ... (the example is done in 4 levels of gray).
