From Silverwind:
"The picture box in the Text, Picture and Buttons layout is 311x315 pixels, the one in the Picture and Buttons layout is 626x315 and the one in the full Picture layout is 626x375.
 
This is under the Large Game Window setting."

On Macs it's supposed to be 72 pixels per inch, so it's almost a 4.3 inch square for the half picture box.

You can always scale images you scan in.
