What you are doing is something between a morph and a warp, and it does at first appear that v1.85 may be more suited to what you are trying to do, because when you create warps in the new v3.00, you can only load 1 picture, and you actually stretch the warp in-place now, in the second picture box, which is great for almost everybody, who wants to create warps with Morpheus Photo Warper or Morpheus Photo Animation Suite. What you are doing can still be done in v3.00 fortunately, and here is how:
First, you will need the Professional edition, or higher, in order to use key frames. Create a new morph, and load your two pictures into the morph just as you have done in v1.85. The next step is to create a key frame at 0%, by right clicking on the Start picture on the timeline, and making it a keyframe. A somewhat optional step is to make your morph only 1 frame long in the Morph Options window (you can always just ignore the frames past the first frame too). Here is where the process unfrotunately will get a little tricky - you need to set your morph size to the same exact size as your 2nd picture, and you will need to copy all of your dots from the ending picture, to the keyframe at 0%. If the morph size in the Timeline Options differs from the picture size, then copying the dots to a different size window may not produce the results you expect.
If you have any questions, please post back here. I am sure that what you are trying to do can still be done with v3.00 with the improved interface and features available in the new version.
