Hi Arian
to mask an image with a nother image, use the following syntax:
<mask id="mask">
<image xlink:href="maske.jpg" x="0" y="0" width="100" height="100"/>
</mask>
<image mask="url(#mask)" xlink:href="svg1.png" x="0" y="0" width="100"
height="100"/>
one remark though, the image is visible, where the mask is white and
transparent on black pixels.
so if you want to show the image inside the black area of your mask
image, you have to invert the colors.
to achive this effect with svg only technology, you could use a
gaussianBlur filter to feather out the mask.
<filter id="filter">
<feGaussianBlur stdDeviation="2"/>
</filter>
<mask id="mask">
<rect x="0" y="0" width="100" height="100" />
<g filter="url(#filter)">
<rect rx="10" ry="10" x="10" y="10"
width="80" height="40" fill="white"/>
<circle cx="50" cy="60" r="30"
fill="white"/>
</g>
</mask>
<image mask="url(#mask)" xlink:href="svg1.png" x="0" y="0" width="100"
height="100"/>
hope that helps
