Mine is a guess, too, but I think it should be tried before
you try any of the above.

MORPH requires that start and stop images be exactly the same
size.  That is, each has the exact same height and width dimensions.

My guess is that is that the two image files that Mr. Gross is
using are not the same size.  And that after MORPH opens the
start image, MORPH will only allow the user to open other
images with the same dimensions as the stop image.
