graphicspdftex
Whenever I insert an image into my PDFTex document (using the code below) it seems to be resized to fit the width of the page. I know I can change this using the scale parameter, but that means I have to play with the scaling factor until it comes out roughly the size I actually created it.
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[scale=0.75]{ikonos.png}
\end{center}
Is there a way to display an image without scaling it to the width of the page?
use it this way, without the \ScaleIfNeeded
\newsavebox\IBox
\let\IncludeGraphics\includegraphics
\renewcommand\includegraphics[2][]{%
\sbox\IBox{\IncludeGraphics[#1]{#2}}%
\ifdim\wd\IBox>\linewidth\resizebox{\linewidth}{!}{\usebox\IBox}\else\usebox\IBox\fi}
your parameters are first applied, then it is tested if greater than \linewidth
To add the image, you can use the fromlogo insert:
\setkomavar{fromlogo}{<contents>}
To get rid of the folding marks, replace
foldmarks=true
with
foldmarks=false
A complete example (depending on your actual image, you might need to adjust some of the lengths used):

\documentclass[
pagenumber=false, % Removes page numbers from page 2 onwards
parskip=half, % Separates paragraphs with some whitespace, use parskip=full for more space or comment out to return to default
fromalign=right, % Aligns the from address to the right
foldmarks=false, % If "true", prints small fold marks on the left of the page
addrfield=true, % Set to false to hide the addressee section - you will then want to adjust the height of the body of the letter on the page by adding the following in this section: \makeatletter \@setplength{refvpos}{\useplength{toaddrvpos}} \makeatletter
fromlogo=true

To remove the from information from the "backadress" and its rule, add
backaddress=off
to the class options, as in
\documentclass[
pagenumber=false,
parskip=half,
fromalign=right,
foldmarks=false,
addrfield=true,
fromlogo=true,
backaddress=off
]{scrlttr2}
Best Answer
Simply omit the optional argument and the picture will be inserted 'as is'
Be warned, however, that
.pngfiles often don't include the correct information on resolution. This will lead pdfTeX to insert them as 72 dpi images, which may not be desirable. See other questions on apparently 'blocky' images, for example.
