Only to show better how I would like text and images placed on the page.
\definelayer [figure][width=\overlaywidth,height=\overlayheight]
\defineoverlay[figure][{\directsetup{figure}\tightlayer[figure]}]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=figure]
\starttext
\dorecurse{4}{\input knuth}
\startsetups figure
\setlayerframed[figure][x=.3\layerwidth,y=.2\layerheight]{\externalfigure[cow][width=3cm,height=4cm]}
\setlayerframed[figure][x=.55\layerwidth,y=.4\layerheight]{\externalfigure[cow][width=3cm]}
\setlayerframed[figure][x=.4\layerwidth,y=.6\layerheight]{\externalfigure[cow][width=2cm,height=4cm]}
\stopsetups
\stoptext
