I wanted to achieve the output as shown in the screenshot.
basically every row of the view has an image and I wanted to add an additional circle-effect.

As I understand it, this module cannot currently achieve this. is that as per design and is there another module that will achieve this effect ?

I have currently hacked this module to achieve the effect. would you like me to provide a patch so this functionality can be available as well ?

I'm not sure if it's relevant to your question - the illustration you supply seems to be just showing an image, with no special need for 'background' image effect there.
But anyway - you can use https://drupal.org/project/imagecache_actions if your question is about producing the circular mask effect.

Hi,

I'm sharing the point of view of dman too.

Thanks for pointing out the module. I was not sure how to achieve the rounding effect. Hence I used this module to output the image as a background to a div and rounded the div using css.
I shall try out the module.

just another quick question: is it possible to scale and crop an image such that I always get my desired dimensions ?
for landscape images, it seems to work, However I am not sure what stragegy to use for portraits.
specifically, I dont know how to obtain a landscape result out of a portrait image (by chopping off the irrelavant/less important section of the image).
