--- Comment #39 from Dirk Munk <m...@home.nl> ---
The original problem has been resolved, Writer handles the dpi setting
properly. That means that I can now prepare images with photo editing software,
and just enter them in a Writer document.

Writer is not meant to be photo editing software, so don't expect it to do
that.

Images do not have dimensions in cm or inch. Images exist out of pixels, and
those are dimensionless. It is the dpi setting that will software at which size
the image has to be printed. Unfortunately high resolution jpg images from
cameras often have a rather silly 72 dpi as standard setting, which means that
printed images would be ridiculously big. The only proper way to prepare those
images for use in a Writer document is with photo editing software. The same
applies to images without a dpi setting. Load these images in photo editing
software, set the proper dpi setting and required image size, and recalculate
the number of pixels. 

I use Affinty Photo for that purpose. It is an excellent program, cheap, and
has free updates.
