Nope. If you create an empty image, lock it, then set it to an image file,
the image that comes in will be scaled to fit the locked image. If you
unlock it, it will remain the same size.

So unlock and make your change, OR, leave it locked and do it via script.
You see, the image is only locked from the standpoint of onscreen dragging,
i.e., a script or the Inspector can still change its size and location.

Sure you can. I'm looking right at one now.

Edit how? If via script, the yes, it will be ignored. See above.

Also, locking the images has no affect on the group. You must lock the
group.
