Jacque's backPattern idea is an option purely for masking images as well, though you're more limited using that option. The image and graphic need to be the same height, and you need to have "extra" image on the left side so you can crop off the rounded corners on the left.
The advantage of that option is you probably won't get any rendering artifacts with acceleratedRendering enabled (no ink effects needed). The disadvantage is the image needs to be fit precisely to the masking graphic, while in a group with ink effects, you have more flexibility in placing/sizing the image.
