This is the improved example. The only remaining issue is an one empty line between the image and the label when \startnarrower command is used.

Please compare two pages w/o this option set:

%\definefontfamily[palatino][rm][Palatino Linotype][features={default, quality}] %\setupbodyfont[palatino] \setupnarrower[middle=-2.8cm]

\starttext test \startplacefigure[location=page, number=no, title={}] \setupcombinations[align={last, hz, hanging}] {\startcombination[1*2] {\externalfigure[cow]} {\startnarrower {\itx \input{tufte}} \stopnarrower} {\externalfigure[cow]} {\startnarrower {\itx \input{lorem}} \stopnarrower} \stopcombination} \stopplacefigure

\startplacefigure[location=page, number=no, title={}] \setupcombinations[align={last, hz, hanging}] {\startcombination[1*2] {\externalfigure[cow]} {\itx \input{ward}} {\externalfigure[cow]} {\itx \input{ward}} \stopcombination} \stopplacefigure

\stoptext

I haven't find any better way to extend the caption width than that negative value for narrowed text. It works, but that empty space above looks weird

You have to force a certain width for your images because the width of the text space depends on the width of the images. You can use \framed (instead of loffset/roffset you can also set a fixed width) or \simplealignedbox to set the width of the images. \setupexternalfigures[location=default] \defineframed[CombinationBox][frame=off,offset=none,loffset=3cm,roffset=3cm] \starttext \startplacefigure[location={force,none}] \startcombination[nx=1,ny=2,align={last,hz,hanging},style=\itx] % first image \startcontent %\simplealignedbox{11cm}{middle}{\externalfigure[cow][width=5cm]} \CombinationBox{\externalfigure[cow][width=5cm]} \stopcontent \startcaption \input{ward} \stopcaption % second image \startcontent %\simplealignedbox{11cm}{middle}{\externalfigure[cow][width=5cm]} \CombinationBox{\externalfigure[cow][width=5cm]} \stopcontent \startcaption \input{ward} \stopcaption \stopcombination \stopplacefigure \stoptext Wolfgang
