I see now... you need to realize that you are scaling the image — not resizing it. As such, you can specify only a single pixel size that Tiki will use to attempt to scale the image to the specific sized box.

Use only 600 or 450 — not both. Tiki can't scale the X and Y axis differently — they must be the same.

Think of it this way, if you are using a 600px scale and upload an image that is actually 1024x768, Tiki will rescale it to 600x450 (aprox 58.5% reduction).

Likewise, if you are using a 450px scale, Tiki would rescale your 1024x768 image to 450x337 (aprox 43.9%).

HTH,
