This makes it obvious that the paragraph following the one you fixed is
a bit misleading (to me):

    If one of the values is -n with n > 1, the scale filter will also
    use a value that maintains the aspect ratio of the input image,
    calculated from the other specified dimension. After that it will,
    however, make sure that the calculated dimension is divisible by n
    and adjust the value if necessary.

This is true only if *exactly* one of the two values is "-n with n > 1".
(It also doesn't apply to "-1:-2". Good luck finding words to describe
this behavior. ;-))

Just nitpicking,
Moritz
