Image Editor Menu 0.9.2:

I try to synthesize my proposal of this morning, integrating the suggestions by Mikolaj and Luka.

The guiding logic seems to be:
1. Follow common menu practice (like File at left and Help to the right)
2. Group similar action under a menu, keep them about same size 
3. Group similar actions within the menu, make sub-groups of themes
4. Put most often used actions to the top

File (as is 0.9.1)

Help (as is)

I feel that since 'Blow-up' is part of Resize, this term is too limiting, indicates rather reduction. 'Change size' is more open and suggests as much increase than decrease of size.
