It might be too late to point this out, but image size does not matter as it
is a page that I only use myself (a presentation). What's more, I cannot
process the images offline because I do not know what size I want them to
be. I wish to be able to change the size in the source and then refresh the
page. I cannot measure distances in the page to check for good fit because
font size is determined on the fly, depending on the content, screen size,
etc. If I need to do all of this about 30 times, then it becomes
impractical.
You would be in trouble if you had to process images in order for LaTeX to
fit figures properly in the page. This is something which involves a lot of
iterations.
