It depends on srcX, srcY, and PictureTransform. If the transformed 
coordinate to be used for the source or mask picture falls outside of 
the picture, repeat modes come into play. But you said you want to 
scale, not repeat?

Yes, it can be done through PictureTransform, but of the source Picture.
Don't know any other way..
