This is the same shape that you get if you do not hold CTRL pressed. It is explained in Create headline and body columns at once.
Inside image
This is the same shape that was available in the versions prior to 2.1 when holding CTRL pressed. It is explained in Create headline, body columns and image box at once
Small Top Image
The shape consists of a short top image with the caption, followed by the headline and body columns. The image height is about 1/4 of the total height.
Large Top Image
The shape consists of a tall top image with the caption, followed by the headline and body columns. The image height is about 1/2 of the total height.
Left Image
The shape consists of a image with the caption, in the full height of the article and on the left side, followed by the headline and body columns on the side. This layout is available only for the widths of more than 2 columns.
Right Image
The shape consists of a image with the caption, in the full height of the article and on the right side, preceded by the headline and body columns on the side. This layout is available only for the widths of more than 2 columns.
If you set your personal preferences to apply a runaround on the headline box, the later resizing will be much simpler.

Notes
•If you press and hold SHIFT+CTRL before releasing the left mouse button, the body columns will bounce off any bottom obstacles. The image box will not bounce off.
•Even if you set your personal preferences to apply a runaround on the headline box, the headline will not wrap the picture box - you will have to adjust it manually.
•Since GN4 2.0 build 2209, the resplitting of the article layout containing pictures and captions is not removing pictures and captions anymore - they will stay as they are.
The custom scripting method AddImageToHB2 adds a image placeholder and - optionally - a caption frame to the article layout. Fred4 performs the following auto-calculations: •The height of the image placeholder is the half of body height, normalized to the closest grid value (if lock to grid is set). •The width and the position of the image placeholder is hard-coded in the script, as follows: Versions of script after Apr, 14 of 2014
The ratio for horizontal pictures is 1.3; the ratio for vertical pictures is 0.8. Versions of script prior to Apr, 14 of 2014

Technical note
This functionality is achieved by the script named AddFrameSplitHB in Page.vb system add-in.
