That had already been proposed in fact. FWIW I prefer those too - upside down 
to me is only really applicable to 3d space where you have an object that has a 
definate "up"-"side" (to me, a side with the normal vector expected to points 
upwards).

Flipping a photo upside down suggests to me placing it face down on the table, 
so I'd expect ShowImage to replace my photo with a white background and the 
text "Kodak Photo Paper" on it in light grey or something ;)

The current names are better than what we had before but I still think it's 
clearer to explicitly state "left to right" and "top to bottom". Saving one 
word isn't really worth the loss of definate "complimentary terms": 
"sideways"/"upside down" are not like "left to right"/"top to bottom".

This is getting to be another bikeshed...
