Yes, the CGImage has no resolution, only a pixel size. So you add in the
resolution at the very end, after creating the NSImage:
img.size = NSMakeSize (widthInPoints, heightInPoints);
where the dimensions in points are computed from the pixel dimensions and the
known resolution.
Actually, after looking at the documentation again, doing it exactly this way
seems slightly risky (if the NSImage is set to do scaling automatically, for
example). I think what you really should do is to create a NSImageRep from the
CGImage, the set the NSImageRep 'size' property to the correct size in points,
then add that image rep to a new "empty" NSImage.
