With Emacs' doc-view-mode I can easily shrink/zoom/etc PDFs, however, I would like to be able to do the same thing with images. Currently when I open an image I cannot adjust the zoom level to fit it to the frame. I know there is image-mode-fit-frame, however, it does not help when the image is larger than my screen.
Is there a package or mode that will allow me zoom in and out on an image?
Such functionality is provied by packages:
With point in the thumbnail buffer, you can type RET (
image-dired-display-thumbnail-original-image) to display a sized version of it in another window. This sizes the image to fit the window.
It uses ImageMagick's convert command.
You can also use image-dired-external-viewer to avoid the problem and display your images in an external image viewer such as feh.
(add-hook 'image-mode-hook 'eimp-mode)
It uses the mogrify utility from ImageMagick to do the actual transformations.

eiv - It also uses the ImageMagick package which should provide mogrify.
Complete command list:
eiv-fit-image-to-window - Resize image to current window size.eiv-rotate-current-image - Rotate current image at 90 degrees. eiv-dec-or-inc-image - Resize image to current window size. eiv-diaporama - Start a diaporama on tree. eiv-viewer - The emacs-image-viewer. Allows to navigate in a tree of dir and subdir.
eimp modifies the file. It doesn't work on read-only images.

I used the source code in lisp/image-mode.el to write this up. Calling this function in any image buffer will resize it to fit to width or height depending on the image and window height/width ratios.
You do need these 2 things for this function to work:
libjpeg loader is used to handle JPEG images. The hack shown in next part of this answer is used to force emacs to use imagemagick loader.
(defun modi/image-transform-fit-to-window()
"Resize the image to fit the width or height based on the image and window ratios.
Imagemagick is required to run this function."
(interactive)
(let* ( (img-size (image-display-size (image-get-display-property) t))
(img-width (car img-size))
(img-height (cdr img-size))
(img-h/w-ratio (/ (float img-height) (float img-width)))
(win-width (- (nth 2 (window-inside-pixel-edges))
(nth 0 (window-inside-pixel-edges))))
(win-height (- (nth 3 (window-inside-pixel-edges))
(nth 1 (window-inside-pixel-edges))))
(win-h/w-ratio (/ (float win-height) (float win-width))))
;; Fit image by width if the h/w ratio of window is > h/w ratio of the image
(if (> win-h/w-ratio img-h/w-ratio)
(image-transform-fit-to-width)
;; Else fit by height
(image-transform-fit-to-height))))
After following through the emacs bug reports #18797, #10746 and #10112, the following solution worked for forcing Imagemagick to load images; put it somewhere in your init.el:
I have forced Emacs to use ImageMagick only for the image files familiar to me: PNG, TIFF, JPEG, SVG; the rest are kept as default. I have chosen to allow gif files to be opened by the default loader as emacs 24.4 has improved support for viewing multi-frame images. The whole regexp is taken from lisp/image.el.

image-transform-set-scale may be what you are looking for. However it requires Emacs to be compiled with Imagemagick support.
There is also a commented out image-transform-mode in image-mode.el labeled "Not yet implemented."
Does Emacs use imagemagick? yes when running ./configure. So it did compile with imagemagick. Still image transform doesn't work for me. (On emacs 24.4 x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) I also have the following in config.log: | #define HAVE_IMAGEMAGICK 1 | #define HAVE_MAGICKEXPORTIMAGEPIXELS 1 | #define HAVE_MAGICKMERGEIMAGELAYERS 1.

Here's a solution that lets you scale up and down using the same keys as are used for text scaling, C-x C-= and C-x C--
(defun scale-image ()
"Scale the image by the same factor specified by the text scaling."
(image-transform-set-scale
(expt text-scale-mode-step
text-scale-mode-amount)))
(defun scale-image-register-hook ()
"Register the image scaling hook."
(add-hook 'text-scale-mode-hook 'scale-image))
(add-hook 'image-mode-hook 'scale-image-register-hook)
