That depends where you put it. Normally, for NSImageCells, the default is
that it will scale for you. Now, of course you'll have to choose a suitable
size (icons only scale well to certain dimensions). If you look in the
NSImageCell docs it *should* (it's been a while) be a method where you
choose the scaling behavior.

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
