Ulrike,

Well most of the graphics on my pc have either no dpi entry or 72,
but I found one with 300dpi and this too is larger (x4) when used
with xelatex. (it is not a graphic I can share so we can't test if
it works for you too).

Odd... I did a minmal example with the jpg that Jose linked to, and it indeed becomes way too large. However, when I compare it to one of the graphics I use in my book (http://grammar.nihongoresources.com/lib/exe/fetch.php?cache=&media=gyousho.jpg <http://grammar.nihongoresources.com/lib/exe/fetch.php?cache=&media=gyousho.jpg>), running xelatex on the following code makes it look exactly as big as the image indicates it should be...

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\section{Figura\textunderscore 3-1.JPG}
\includegraphics{Figura_3-1.JPG}
\section{gyousho.jpg}
\includegraphics{gyousho.jpg}
\end{document}

There's two differences between the two, one in the amount of EXIF data, the other in the presence of a "thumbnail" encoding in my image which comes with its own 72dpi... now I'm wondering which image graphicsx actually picks up! If it picks up the 72dpi thumbnail instead of the 300dpi actual image, that'd be a pretty severe bug in graphicx.

I'll see if I can "rig" an image so that the thumbnail looks nothing like the actual image, and see what the resulting pdf looks like.

I checked the image properties with irfanview and it shows 601x601
dpi and resolution unit "inch".

I used IrfanView too, intrestingly enough I get different values now that I'm back home and have downloaded the jpg to this machine instead... Still leaves an interesting mystery.
