I would add that PP drops them in based on the dpi resolution of the
file, not 1:1 on a pixel basis which would give you the ideal size (some
pictures can generate alot of moiré if you resample just a little).

for a 1024x768 screen, I set the page to 10.24 x 7.68, giving me 100dpi.
once I figure out the size I need I resample it and save it at 100dpi
