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...
