It seems the correct term for the size of the image loaded the first
time would be "initial size"?  Hmm, actually, the docstring of
'image-transform-reset' says the correct term for the initial size is
"default size".

I don't know, some programs use "original size", some "normal size":

Xreader:

[xreader.png (image/png, inline)]

[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

Xviewer:

[xviewer.png (image/png, inline)]

[Message part 5 (text/plain, inline)]

And I found one program, namely Pix, that uses "actual size".
