That explination sucked, but that's life, I guess.

If I had a program that I could input the dimensions I want my final pics to be, and it would give me a floating window with the right proportions that I could position over the original photo to frame it right, and then click a button to crop the excess.....I'd be in heaven.
You can do that in photoshop sweetie.
When you're cropping just put the width and height you want in the boxes in the top toolbar and when you drag the cursor to select your area it automatically stays at the correct aspect ratio.
Click crop----save for web---done.
