G'day Sandra,

I'm using PS CS2 but I think the procedure below is the same:

In PS go to Edit>Preferences>Units & Rulers and change the rulers
units to inches.

Open the image, select the crop tool and enter the width & height
values you require & a resolution of say 150 pixels/inch (I assume
your printing onto cloth? If not, 300 pixels/inch is fine).

Crop the image as desired. You'll now have a 6x6 inch image. Select
the hand tool and  click on the "Print Size" button to visually
confirm it's physical size.

Print the image as you normally would, making sure that you don't
scale the image to fit the page.

I've had to do the same thing for my Mum on occasion. Have you ever
asked your mother why she cuts up all that material only to sew it
back together? I never get an answer to that one :-)

Dave.
