Importing image with the correct pixel scale

I downloaded this software to hopefully populate a world map I already have created. It is currently a png file 2376x3672 pixels, drawn to a 1 pixel=1 mile scale. So far it seems I will have to import the image and trace over it to get a CC3 file of my map. My trouble is, I don't know how to scale the map to handle my existing scale. I created a new file with the same image dimensions, but the default scale seems far too small. How should I format the new map file to allow me to import this image at the programs natural scale? Thank you.

    1. Create a new overland map using the new map wizard, and set the dimensions at the exact size of your image
    2. Click Draw -> Insert file, and browse to your file
    3. Instead of clicking to place the first corner, just type 0,0
    4. Instead of clicking to place the second corner, type the image dimensions (i.e. 2376,3672)
    5. The image will now have been imported at the scale 1 pixel = 1 drawing units (and in overland maps 1 drawing unit = 1 mile)
