I recently wrote a script which should facilitate your task. The script will scale the active layer to fit within the selection -- or the image itself if there is no selection -- while maintaining the aspect ratio of the original layer. If you download the file at the following location and save it to your .gimp-2.6/scripts folder, then the next time you open GIMP there will be a new command called "Fit to Selection" under your Layer Menu. http://chiselapp.com/user/saulgoode/repository/script-fu/artifact/1798e8830fef11e639d5fe89eda4c0927d542d8c You would use the script by opening your original (square) image, using "Image->Canvas Size" to set the image dimensions to 4"x6" (for example), and then perform "Layer->Fit to Selection".
