Mark,

  Take the pixel size in meters and multiply by 4,000; that will get you
close.  So for a image with a pixel size of 5 meters, a good scale would
be 1:20,000.  Any larger than that (say 1:10,000) and you'll start to
see pixel edges.

  Unless you meant something else?...

Best Regards,
Brent Fraser
