[Newbies] Changing the extent of an ImageMorph

[Lawson English]

A sketchmorph is horribly complicated, too.

ImageMorph was designated as the successor to SketchMorph and then 
abandoned. By implication, SketchMorph was abandoned before ImageMorph.

Far better to figure out a way to resize ImageMorph, IMHO.
