I'm trying to rescale uploaded jpeg in asp.net

So I go:

Image original = Image.FromStream(myPostedFile.InputStream);
int w=original.Width, h=original.Height;

using(Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(original))
{
 g.ScaleTransform(0.5f, 0.5f); ... // e.g.
 using (Bitmap done = new Bitmap(w, h, g))
 {
  done.Save( Server.MapPath(saveas), ImageFormat.Jpeg );
  //saves blank black, though with correct width and height
 }
}

this saves a virgin black jpeg whatever file i give it. Though if i take input image stream immediately into done bitmap, it does recompress and save it fine, like:

Image original = Image.FromStream(myPostedFile.InputStream);
using (Bitmap done = new Bitmap(original))
{
 done.Save( Server.MapPath(saveas), ImageFormat.Jpeg );
}

Do i have to make some magic with g?

upd: i tried:

Image original = Image.FromStream(fstream);
int w=original.Width, h=original.Height;
using(Bitmap b = new Bitmap(original)) //also tried new Bitmap(w,h)
 using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(b))
 {
  g.DrawImage(original, 0, 0, w, h); //also tried g.DrawImage(b, 0, 0, w, h)
  using (Bitmap done = new Bitmap(w, h, g))
  {
   done.Save( Server.MapPath(saveas), ImageFormat.Jpeg );
  }
 }

same story - pure black of correct dimensions
