No, but in this case you could do:
my-effect: func [img] [
repeat pos (img/size/x * img/size/y) [
poke img pos either odd? pos [255.255.255.0][0.0.0.0]
]
img
]
view layout [image effect [draw [image 0x0 my-effect img]]]

Effects are words of a dialect interpreted by View.
The effect word Draw handles a sub-dialect in a block: the advantage of Draw
sub-dialect is that it is reduced before interpreted, so it can contain Rebol
code, like in the example.
