I have Adobe photoshop 6 - which surely ought to be the tool to do the above.
Sadly I cannot for the life of me work out how.
Can anyone help me?

Open the image, and then select Image->Image Size. Your document size might be labeled in inches, which would be nice cos then you'd know about how large it will wind up. A little link icon should show up (IIR PS6) linking the height and width, so that when you change one, the other will change in proportion. If the link doesn't appear, click the Constrain Proportions button. Size it to what you need, click OK, and you're done. Print it.

I think limey wants to make the image heart-shaped? Hmmm...paste a big heart, magic lasso and then crop from that, then delete the heart?

That's just crazy talk! RL scissors should satisfy, once the image is the right size.

Oh...yeah...even if you get the image heart-shaped, you still have to print it on square paper.

Unless it's a heart-shaped digital frame that limey has...
