Hi Hans,

I fear it doesn't work. I used the above code with a test-picture of mine
(in .png and .jpg version) and got:

(0sp,0sp)
(0,0)

Now I'm baffled what the explanation could be. Are "mill" or "cow" somehow
specially prepared? I used:

ConTeXt  ver: 2018.03.16 22:20 MKIV beta  fmt: 2018.3.21 and
getfiguredimensions[~/my-test-picture.png]
