Hi JTB,
> Will there be any scaling by numbers or aspect ratio?
I don't think that I'll have this for V1, I'm pretty burnt out on background images for now.
But I think you should be able to get what you want by drawing a line or rectangle object of the desired size and then snapping on to it. If you grab near the corner of an image (but slightly away from the sizing grip) you can drag it and snap the corner of the image directly on to some object.
So say for instance you want the image to be exactly 10 units in width - draw a line 10 units long. Now drag the image (while inside the View/Image command) nearby its corner to snap the corner of the image on to the line. Now grab the sizing grip opposite from this corner - you want the opposite one because the sizing keeps the opposite corner that you are dragging anchored.
While dragging the opposite corner scaling grip, move down and snap on to the end of your line and release there - that should size your image to exactly 10 units wide.
It might be a little easier to visualize if you draw a rectangle of the desired size since it will be a little bit easier yet to snap on to.
