This is probably not the best fitting mailinglist, as this is a KDE centric
user mailinglist.
However, if i get it right, your problem seems to be the image viewer of
choice doesn't seem to view an image in the original size but rather fits
it to screen. And that is probably exactly what is happening.
E.g. i have set gwenview to display images to that per default. If i need
to zoom into an image to see the correct size i can do so.
But you can't force a setting on users. Neither does there exist a global
solution that sets any image viewer accordingly.
Note, this assumes that you have scanned the image correctly and it is
indeed saved in a  higher resolution.
