I have some `ImageBitmap`s that I'm rendering into a UI using Image . That works nicely, images appear in their natural size. However on higher density devices, images appear smaller. Is there any easy way to use the LocalDensity to render an image the same natural size independent of screen density? I've tried applying Modifier.scale(LocalDensity.current.density) and while the image seems to be rendered bigger on higher density devices, the size of the widget doesn't seem to increase, i.e. only part of the image is visible. I see that Image is using an ImagePainter under the hood, but I don't see an easy way to supply a target size for it. Any suggestions?

What defines the size of your widget? Do you have fixed dp width and height for it?

[Sebastian Kürten]

I don't think I'm setting any size for the Image widget or any of the widgets it is contained within (it's in an item of a LazyColumn), I don't know how exactly it does it but I think the Image Composable determines it's size from the pixel size of the ImageBitmap

my hunch is it has to do with the "intrinsic size"

[Kirill Grouchnikov]

That’s probably the case. Say you have a 200x200px image. So that definitely is going to take a smaller “physical” space on a higher density screen

Same as using wrap_content in the view world. You want to set fixed dp based dimensions for your image instead

thanks Kirill, that helps indeed
