Very helpful, Wilhelm.  Thank you.  I don't know of anyone else in the 
community who's done as much with image processing as you, so your input 
on this is especially valuable.

Does this also address the issue on OS X?

Also, how can one obtain the original bounds of the image in order to 
scale it proportionately?
