[Forgot to add: this is with the ConTeXt bundled in Tex Live 2014]

Many thanks -- although I don't see the effect I'm trying to get. In
the code below the cow picture should fill the three frames at three
different scales with no white bars between the frame and the
externalfigure frame:

\setupexternalfigures[location={default}]

\starttext

\framed
   [offset=overlay,width=10cm,height=2cm]
   {\externalfigure[cow][frame=on,factor=max]}

\framed
   [offset=overlay,width=4cm,height=8cm]
   {\externalfigure[cow][frame=on,factor=max]}

\framed
   [offset=overlay,width=6cm,height=6cm]
   {\externalfigure[cow][frame=on,factor=max]}

\stoptext
