Hi, What version of ConTeXt are you using? I just noticed a difference a few days ago between the version installed by TeXLive 2007 and the April 2007 release (tested locally & through contextgarden) placing an image into a natural table, using factor=max. I'll post an example in a separate thread shortly.
