I'm not sure if this is an answer per se, but it solves one of the "niggly" issues I'm having.
I think the problem I have is you don't have a source DPI, so it's not possible to convert from one context to another. Let's say you have a image of 200x200, what does that actually mean?
Without the DPI it's meaningless. If the image is 300dpi, then we could use pixels / dpi = inches = 200 / 72 = 0.667 inches. Then we can convert that to pixels @ 72dpi using inches * dpi = 0.667 * 72 = 48
Now, the question the becomes, how do I get the DPI of an image. That's not nearly as easy as it sounds...

Update with preview example
This example basically uses the images own DPI and a target DPI to produce a "print preview"
My test image is 1667x1609 @ 300dpi
300dpi test...
- Original size = 1667x1609
- cmSize = 14.11396110802889x13.622893474996092
- Target (pixel) size = 1667x1609
72dpi test...
- Original size = 1667x1609
- cmSize = 14.11396110802889x13.622893474996092
- Target (pixel) size = 400x386
