Subject: elog's image manipulation of .png file generated from a pdf/jpg 
Hi all, 

Is it just my system or do others have this odd issue.

I have a pdf file which is 'upside-down', I attached it to an elog entry, and the .png image thumbnail was
generated.  Now this too was upside-down, so I tried to use the left (or right) rotation buttons along the top
of the image in elog to do a 180 degree rotation.
The first 90 degree rotation was fine, but the second attempt just made a smaller image.  
It happens with various pdf files generated by various software (in case).
I also tried it with a jpg file, in that case the second attempt enlarged the image.

I could not find any way to actually invert the .png image using elog; but I was surprised that a second
rotation ddid something different (change magnification) rather than nothing at all if it could only cope with a
90 degree rotation.

It's not a vital fix for me, but I have found the thumbnail (png) manipulation functions have a few rough edges,
so when necessary I use xv or gimp on the .png file to get what I want.

Or is this just my system?
