Well, for what it's worth: here's a start:

This is "bog basic" in that it does "nothing more" than import the
image, unite it with a graphic 'frame' and then allow you
to export the end result as a PNG [ Papua New Guinea ?] image.

Well, to be honest, that's me in case you hadn't worked that out
donkey's ages ago.
OR b) you have experienced talented "workers" in image process.
I tend to show my stacks to the Primary school kids who have the signal
advantage of knowing almost nothing about programming
or how computers work: they then, oddly enough, come up with all sorts
of criticisms and comments which make me go away and think things
through - mainly because of wisdom "out of the mouths of babes" [sorry,
non-Hindu scripture there].
In a distributed work environment, the options to pre-process images
prior to getting them into LiveCode is often zero.
Of course the obvious question at this point is "why use a distributed
work environment?"
So...when the only resources you have are square, ordinary images,
having such a library in Livecode can be hugely helpful... add to
that, the use case may be multiple images over many cards ( or set
for whatever purpose), making an LC library/process that can loop,
way, way more efficient than doing these in GIMP of Photoshop, unless
you want to go through the headached of setting up and recording
actions etc.
Well, my stack will NOT work its way through a bunch of images on
another stack [too much bother, and probably either beyond my
capabilities, or
beyond my motivational ceiling.
Of course [ !!!! ] it should be comparatively easy to use my stack as a
starting point for a batch-processor for a folder of images . . .
That would, obviously, mean that you could not set each images amount of
corner-roundedness individually.
I have in house app functions where, sure, we could do the same thing
in another X, Y, Z application, but certainly not with the same
efficiency and certainly not by someone with zero skill set in
applications X,Y,Z.
I have volunteers to work on sets of 3000 + images with Livecode
where the idea of "why bother, you can do this in GIMP/Photoshop"
verges on madness (smile).
"madness" ? who said madness? Now, now, control yourself or we'll be
reaching for the straitjacket . . .
I suppose a batch-processor written in Livecode could chew its way
through 3000 images in about 9000 seconds = 2 and a half hours, without any
human intervention beyond the first minute.

Why bother? Frankly the process is no more difficult using
GIMP: https://www.gimp.org/downloads/ or
Photoshop: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop.html
and there are quite a few other image editing software packages
available that can do that job as well.
