My image is wider than high. It was scaled too small so i wanted to rotate it and make it bigger.

I'd rather not change my production work to a research product :-) Too risky. And officially mkii is still maintained (or that is what I read). >>> \rotate[rotation=90]{\externalfigure[cow][width=4cm]} >> >> This works better, but the figure's size is not changed. Apparently, the size is calculated before it is rotated. And these claculations stick in different ways. > > What do you expect, the width setting is for the unrotated figure. Actually, I was not using width at all, just \externalfigure[foo] I expected that \externalfigure[foo][orientation=90] would first rotate the figure and then calculate its size. But it did not. It put in a figure of 4x8, while telling TeX the box was 8x4. I do expect that \rotate[rotation=90]{\externalfigure[foo][width=4cm]} gets me a height of 4cm.
