Losing a Group's memory

I have a group consisting of a couple of images which I distort from
within a handler in order to give a simple animation effect of a shutter
shutting. This works fine, but when I edit the group and change the size of
one or more of the individual images (for example if I change the height of
one of them) and stop editing and go back to my 'distorting' behaviour, the
image(s) reverts to its/their original size. Likewise, if I alter the
height of the whole group, it also reverts to the original height during
the shutter animation process, although there is nothing in the code of the
handler to make it do this.
This must mean that the group retains a memory of the size of its
components. I don't want this - if I want the height changed, I want it to
stay that way - so I need my group to 'forget' this original-size
information. Does anyone know if there is any way of doing this? If not, I
will have to re-craft my images in some kind of image editor and replace
the ones I have in the group now, which to say the least is a tedious process.
TIA
