Re: help with facing page image

[jbf via ntg-context <ntg-context@ntg.nl>]

Am endeavouring to explore Wolfgang's very 'elegant' solution to this 
facing page challenge. The exploration has included a look at 
base/mkxl/page-inj.mklx (thanks Sreeram for reminding me of this) where 
I see immediately that the approach is experimental and where it says 
also that 'probably more alternatives will be added'. I wonder if that 
last phrase also includes the ability to manipulate the image(s) either 
generally or in individual cases?

So, for example., say I need (and in fact I do!) to change some aspect 
of individual images, e.g. I might want to scale=500, or fiddle with 
width/height of a particular image. At the moment I cannot see a way of 
doing this for each image. I wondered if the commented out setups in the 
response to this question might be a clue, but so far haven't been able 
to get that to have any effect.
