If you wind up with a large image (or set of images), you'll probably want
to group them, set the size of the group to whatever size you need on your
card, set the lockLoc of the group to true (this keeps the group from
expanding to show all its contents), and then enable whatever scrollbar/s
you need: vscrollbar and/or hscrollbar.

Another option you might consider is placing each image/panel on its own
card, and then using transitions when navigating between cards -- see
"Working with Visual Transition Effects" in the User Guide (on Mac OS X
there may even be a page turn effect available, I can't recall).  This might
make for a an interesting presentation.
