--- Comment #29 from Dirk Munk <munk at home.nl> ---
In a previous comment I stated that the information is in the EXIF headers,
this is a mistake, the information is in the standard JPEG headers. 

I've uploaded two IrFanView information headers. The difference between the two
is the dpi setting in the header, nothing else. That information is used to
calculate the print size in cm / inch. It seems that Writer isn't (always)
capable to read the dpi setting from the header, and it then replaces the dpi
setting by the dpi of the screen. This results in a completely wrong size of
the picture in the Writer document. Adjusting the size in Writer results in
resampling the picture, and using the wrong, mostly lower, dpi setting.

It's very simple, anyone who is able to understand the way jpg and other
graphic files are handled in Writer, can understand this,

Please fix this problem!!
