What's stopping from my wrapped text from starting at the top of the text box?

Note that the top of the text box is already even with the photo. 

So, are you saying that the text "Chapter Three" and the paragraph break following it are a separate text frame from the text beginning "maintenance and restoration"?

Could we see a screenshot with that text frame selected, rather than the image? And perhaps with the Text Frame studio panel showing?

Could you save a copy of your .afpub file with only the master page(s) and spread 52/53, and upload it?

You'll have to manually crop the image's top. You will also have to decide whether you want the top to be at the top of the first letter "m" or to line up with the ascenders later on in the text's first line, there is a 'd' and an 'f' there at the end. There is no automatic way to do this.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Yes, they are separate. I'm attaching a pic with the textbox selected and the Text Frame Studio panel showing.

Could you link me to instructions on how to save a version of my afpub file with only certain pages/masters?

First, do a File > Save As... and save the complete file under a different name, so you don't lose your original.

After that it should simply be a matter of selecting the spread(s) you want to delete in the Pages studio panel and clicking the Delete Selected Pages icon (trash can) at the top right of the panel.

Finally, do another File > Save As... and save the file under another new name, which should compact it and remove the space otherwise taken up by the deleted spreads.

Might it be you have a baseline grid active which forces the body text to start where it starts (and this way below the upper edge of the placed image)?

Good to know. I just figured out my problem, but it could be very useful to know how to do this in the future. Thanks!

It was actually the vertical alignment in the text studio being set to center align instead of top align.
