The scale operation extends from the resize operation and uses the resize operation instead the scale operation. However the scale operation should be faster than the resize one.

The "-scale" resize operator is a simplified, faster form of the resize command.
Do not call the parent but add own arguments and use "scale" instead of "resize".
