According to Daniel T Kegan:

On the iMac, is the desktop picture set at center, or stretch to 
screen, or maybe 'original' size? If it's running OSX you should have 
the same choices for display as on the Ti: Center, Fill screen, 
Stretch to fill screen, and Tile. Fill screen may default to the 
original size of the photo. "Stretch to fill" will shrink or expand 
proportionally, and if your original image, or images, tend to be 
very large, then "Center" will also default to 'original size, merely 
centering the picture. The 'eye to nose' thing sounds like a 
large-format portrait being 'centered'. The difference in your two 
screens' resolutions shouldn't make that huge of a difference. Maybe 
you could open the largest image in your photo app, select all, hit 
"Copy", then create a new image [under the File menu], set the size 
for the new image to be 400 pixels vertically, and 'proportional; 
horizontally, paste the 'copied' image, and you should have another 
version of the pic that will be about half the size of the iMac 
screen. [a little less than half, probably]. Sounds involved, but 
really it's just a step-by-step. Graphic Converter, Photoshop, 
Elements, etc, will do the trick.
