Further to the answers above, the inspector actually tells you the size that it considers valid for use, so tweak it in whatever package before importing. I have many tools but for a quick-and-clean approach, good 'ol preview comes to the rescue if you take time to explore the editing tools

I can't say how to fix wrong images in Photoshop. I found quite an ugly solution:

1. open wrong png in PS;
2. find and open correct png in another tab (make sure the canvas is of right size);
3. select the whole image in the wrong png and copy it;
4. paste the copied image into correct png file;
5. perform Save As... command and replace your wrong image with the new one.
