As I just started a wrong forum topic I might as well answer one as well.
When cropping you can specify the resolution in pixels/inch within photoshop. I set mine at 4in x 6in at 300dpi which give a crop with dimensions 1200x1800. Im fairly certain the resolution box is there as soon as you open the crop tool preset. This gives the 2:3 ratio you are looking for.
As far as batch you can run them through the pshizzy action that has been modified to change the DPI from 72 to 300.
With an image open, double click the particular line that changes the image size to long edge 720. The image size dialog box will pop up.
Uncheck constrain proportions. Change the resolution to 300. Change width and height to 100% and say ok.
Uncheck all the rest of the pshizzy action lines. You may want to double click the line that specifies where it is saving the copy to suit your needs.
If you want run this now modified action against a group of photos I think you have to do it from Bridge.
Lastly, I am terrible at giving directions.
