Up to now I I save the pictures to be inserted to lets say 4"x6" or 6"x8" but after inserting I have to resize them to fit
That is because you have different aspect ratios involved. If your inserting your images into some opening size the process can be automated using PSD Template files and Photoshop scripts. The template file will have alpha channels which the script can use as a cropping mask Your image will be resized to fit the opening and any part the would extend outside the opening would be masked off using the alpha channel as a layer mask.
I have created a package that includes Batch and Interactive Photoshop script and a set of rules to use in making template files. The Batch mode script completly automate the whole process. The interactive script also automates the process but lets you tweak the result. you can transform the image and move it about within the spot or with CS5 link the image smart object with its layer mask and move the whole image placment.
