--- Comment #12 from Regina Henschel <rb.henschel at t-online.de> ---
LibreOffice must never change any information, that is contained in the
png-image. "dpi" or to be more correct the "physical pixel dimension" chunk
belongs to the png-image. If the image does not fit into a page in Writer
depending on that information, the view of the image is scaled down (see crop
tab in properties dialog), but the image is not changed.

If the pixel size information is missing or has no unit, then we can discuss,
which ersatz LibreOffice should use. I agree with Tomaz, that it should not
depend on system DPI. Perhaps 96 dpi is good, that is used for SVG-graphics in
case the unit is "px".

Should images be

Always use the original dpi to calculate the size. Only scale the view, if
otherwise it cannot be inserted. Do not scale up. Likely the user wants to put
text besides the image.
