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

Thanks,

Stu
