    Your aspect ratios are different. Basically, you have two rectangles of different shapes that you’re trying to fit into the same shape, which you can’t do without stretching or cropping. 8×12 is an aspect ration of 2:3 (two units across by three units high) and 6×8 is an aspect ratio of 3:4 (three units across by four units high). For your image to scale down properly into a 6×8 without changing the proportions, your original file would need to be 9×12 (aspect ratio 3:4), not 8×12 (aspect ratio 2:3).
