Get image location of a mouse click

Sorry for the repost - I'm rewording the question - I really need to figure out a solution to this.

I have a class that subclasses NSImageView. I have the NSImageView configured to scale the image proportionally. I want to be able to click on the scaled image view and determine where in the original image that click occurred. This means I need to translate the MouseEvent's coordinates into accurate coordinates in the original image coordinate space.

The question is, how do I determine the current scaling factor at which an NSImage is being drawn in an NSImageView?

Here's the basic process (I know the function names aren't correct - I don't have my code in front of me and don't remember the exact names) I have the first two steps working fine, just need the last step:

Assume I have a 1024x1024 image being displayed proportionally in a 640x480 view (which means it will actually be displayed at 480x480).

mouseClick --> get coordinates in window space
convertToViewCoor --> get coordinates of click in view space (in 640x480 range)
WHAT_GOES_HERE --> get cooridnates of click in original image space (in 1024x1024 range)
