Doh, I know what is happening - the live view images are much smaller
resolution than the actual captured images. We're drawing them at the
same scaling factor, so the live view looks tiny by comparison. We need
to apply different scaling factors to each image, so that they all end
up rendered at the same size on screen.

It'll be in src/frontend/entangle-image-display.c file in the method
do_entangle_image_display_render_pixmap(). Not sure how easy it will
be for you to fix though, because I fear there will be some performance
issues with scaling during live view, due to the frequent refreshes.
