Thank's very much! Works perfect. At least with texexec (I suppose that's MKII) I didn't get it to work with "context" (MKIV, i suppose) Is this supposed to work unchanged with MIV also?

AFAIR \currentvalue did not work in MkIV but you don't have to define a new layer for each graphic, one is enough and can be multiple times. \definelayer[MLayer] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=MLayer] \define[1]\MLayer {\setlayerframed [MLayer] [width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight, frame=off, align={middle,middle}] {\externalfigure[#1]}} \starttext ... \stoptext Wolfgang
