Hi Alan,

Your patch fixed the issue for me, and now the specified :scale factor
is applied when the :height/:width attributes are specified.

IMHO, this is the right fix to be consistent with the
documentation. At least because create-image apply a default scale
factor, maybe for better rendering on high resolution
screens. For ex., a default scale factor of 1.2 is applied on my
laptop (1920x1080). Scaling could also make sense when height/width
are specified in 'em'?

Thanks!
