This is exactly the point. The only image format that stores the
resolution by default, and therefore for which gscan2pdf will
correctly read the resolution, is TIFF.

For PDFs, it is rather tricky. The images are extracted with the
pdfimages tool in xpdf or poppler. I'll do some experimenting with
pdfinfo to at least get gscan2pdf to round trip PDFs. All bets will be
off for anything else.

For other images, it would have to be manual input. Perhaps selecting
the images and have a Tools/Define Page Size or RMB/Define Page Size
option.
