Imagine that you are designing the cover of a book. The main picture on your bookcover
is an image (call this image "img1") with ImageDimensions[img1]={p,q}. Now you wish to put another image (containing the title of your book; call this image "img2") on top and exterior to img1. Here ImageDimensions[img2]=
{r,q}, i.e.; img1 and img 2 have different heights but, the same length. How can we build an "imagepad" above img1 with the same area as imag 2, so that we can insert img2 in that area above img1. We want to do this using Mathematica; without the aid of Paintbrush, Photoshop or similar softwares. Wouldn't be nice to have a Mathematica function, perhaps called "Outset" (as opposed to "Inset"; and different from "Offset") to do this sort of trick? Thank you for your help!
