How can one ensure the image displayed in QCView is at 1:1 pixel resolution? IE: it is displayed as the full original size of the image, independant of the current size of the QCView window size.
Is this possible?

This is possible, using 2 potential methods:

First, the simplest, is "Billboard-in-real-size-mode" -- create a billboard. select it in the editor. Press cmd-2. Set Dimensions Mode to "Real Size" and you're done.

Second, a bit more work, uses the "Image Dimensions Patch" -- attach the image, and use "Width" and "Height" to control the width and height of the billboard (by default, you just need the width), or sprite. The Image Dimensions patch will convert image size units (in pixels) to QC units, making the image actual size.

Keep in mind that QC will reduce the image dimensions to your GPUs maximum texture size, so a 12000x9000 image may get reduced to 8192x8192 (or something similar) before display -- the size will remain the same, but you'll lose some fidelity due to this conversion.
