ABSTRACT:
A method and system for the automatic layout of a photobook page are disclosed. The method includes receiving a number of images for placement onto the photobook page, the photobook page having a first dimension and a second dimension wherein the first dimension is greater than the second dimension. A square root of the number of images is approximated. A total number of page divisions is determined along the first dimension of the photobook page, wherein the total number of page divisions correspond to the approximated square root. Each photobook page is evaluated for division into a regular array of image areas using a modulus of the number of images and the square root. A number of image areas to be included in a page division is determined using a ratio of the number of images to the approximated square root. The images are distributed automatically on the photobook page among the multiple image areas.
