With the marquee tool selected, you’ll see in the options bar a Style drop down.

Select Fixed Size, and type "4 inches" and "6 inches" in the two boxes – this will then allow you to select the 4 by 6 part of the image you want.

Note that the area selected will also depend on the image’s resolution.
