If you have an image frame completely embedded in a text frame, for left justification you will justify to the left border of the text frame and then left justify to the right border of the contour line. I don't know of any other scheme that makes sense.
There are more complicated possiblities, but they would I think involve multiple linked text frames, with varying justification. Greg Greg
