How to Create a Wedding Album With AI

What the AI does, and what it leaves to you

The AI flow does two jobs. First it narrows a large shoot down to an album-sized selection, scoring photos for sharpness, exposure, faces and near-duplicates. Then it designs each sheet. It picks a hero photo, sizes the supporting photos around it, adds masks and soft fades, and takes the background colours from your own photos. It does not repaint, retouch or invent anything in your photographs. Every sheet it produces is an ordinary editable document, so you keep the final say.

Step by step: from booking to finished spreads

1. 1

   Start a new AI album

   Open Album Studio and click Create album. Type an Album name (for example Wedding — Rahul & Priya), choose the Create with AI card and click Continue with AI.

2. 2

   Choose the booking and photos

   Under Choose the booking whose gallery this album uses, search for the booking and open it. Select photos folder by folder, or use Select entire gallery if you want the AI to consider the whole shoot. Photos from your computer can be added with Upload for This Album. Then click the Next button in the bottom bar.

3. 3

   Run the AI selection

   Set Photos in the album (the default is 40) and click Run AI selection. Go through the result: move photos Earlier or Later, Replace or Remove them, and look at the Not chosen list for frames you want back. Click Add More Photos if something is missing, or Re-run AI selection after a big change.

4. 4

   Pick the design

   Under layout, choose Automatic design, or Use a template to fill one of the 400+ library templates. Under style, choose Designed spreads for layered, exposure-based compositions, or Simple clean layout for plain rows.

5. 5

   Set the album size

   In Album size, pick your lab's spread size, or Custom size… and enter Width (in), Height (in) and DPI. For a book that opens flat across two pages, keep Double-page spread — folds in the middle ticked.

6. 6

   Decide how many photos go on a sheet

   With designed spreads, leave Automatic (varies per sheet) on to vary the density from sheet to sheet, or choose Exactly N — all on one sheet for a fixed count. Add a Title on the first sheet and tick Add typography (titles and captions) if you want text in the design.

7. 7

   Generate and review

   Click Generate album. In Preview & export, check each sheet. Use a sheet's Regenerate to get a new composition for that sheet only (available with Automatic design + Professional templates or Designed spreads), or the top Generate more sheets to design additional sheets after the existing ones. Use Edit or Open in Editor to change a sheet by hand.

8. 8

   Export

   Use Export on a single sheet, or the Export all sheets card for the whole album. Tick JPG, PNG and/or Layered PSD, keep Quality 95 (recommended) for JPG, and click Generate N sheets. When it finishes, download the files one by one or with Download all.

Choosing between automatic design and a template

Automatic design composes every sheet from scratch. Consecutive sheets never repeat the same arrangement, and each sheet can be regenerated until you like it. Use a template fills a library template instead, so every album built from it has the same visual language. That suits studios with a house style, or a couple who chose a design in advance. If you design with your own PSD files, use PSD album automation instead of the AI flow.

How to judge a generated album

Read the album the way the couple will: sheet by sheet, left page then right page. Check that the story runs in order (getting ready, ceremony, portraits, reception) and that each sheet has one clear hero. Look for faces close to the frame edges and for any photo that appears too small for its importance. The generator keeps faces away from the centre fold and never lets photos or text cross it, but you should still check that no important detail sits right at the gutter. The centre fold guide explains what to look for.
