Oval framed photo

[David Bovill]

OK - seems like this works:

   - Image at back using ink "blendSrcAtop"
   - Graphic in front, black filled oval, with ink "blendSrcOver"
   - Group both objects and set the ink of the group to "blendSrcOver"

Or use the following scripts:

getprop show_Rounded
>    put the ink of me into someInk
>    if someInk is "blendSrcOver" then
>       return true
>    else
>       return false
>    end if
> end show_Rounded
