Labeled Graphic Size and Quality
I had exactly the same issue where Rise was blowing up a small image and through experimentation I found a work-around.
Firstly, Rise wants images to be in 16:9 format.
I had a small image very similar to the one uploaded by Matt at the top of the thread. I opened the image in Photoshop and increased the size of canvas by making the image wider on both the left and right sides. I made the left and the right sides white and kept the image height the same. I did this a few times until I got close to 16:9 ratio and the visual result that I wanted. The actual image (the part part in the middle) now displays close to the size of the original.
So while the image is actually much wider than it seems, this does not bother anyone as they are not aware of it.
I have used Snagit to resize the canvas to landscape, and it worked for me as well. By the way, this is also a way to center images that would otherwise be left bound.
