When you say that it is a bit fiddly to scale it back to the correct size... have you done it numerically? Such as right-clicking on the image and going into 'image properties' and modifying the width and height that way?
Hopefully that helps...

I have a high-resolution bitmap (300dpi JPEG) that I want to insert
into
an inkscape drawing. However, there is no obvious way to specify the resolution of the image when inserting it, so inkscape scales it such that the
image
has enormous dimensions and the bitmap's pixels are the same size as screen pixels --- suboptimal. Scaling it works, though it is a bit fiddly to scale the bitmap get back the original size and resolution. I am also
worried
that when I print the image of a postscript printer whose resolution is,
say,
300 dpi, that there will be artifacts in the output from the printer rasterzing the bitmap from 299.99 dpi to its phusical resolution.
Can anyone suggest a good method to handle this situation?
