I wanted to do the same thing, and couldn't find an automatic way of 
doing it.  If your annotations are geometries (i.e., not text) have a 
look at the output annotation file.  My annotations were all polygons,
so I hacked the format of the annotation file (it's pretty obvious), and
wrote a program that produces a VIFF file which has value 1 inside the
polygon, and value 0 outside.  You can then combine this with the original
to produce whatever sort of effect you desire.  This is a bit of a hack,
but has its merits, and it should work for any of the geometrical annotations.

PLEA:  I would strongly urge the khoros group to consider a format conversion
program for turning annotation files into VIFF files as part of K2.  
Thanks
