Title
Automatic layout generation for digital photo albums: a user study
Abstract
The low cost and ubiquitousness of digital cameras allow ever larger collections of photos. Although storage is not usually a problem, selection for presentation requires time and effort. Studies show the existence of user groups that never tried to create digital photo albums or were discouraged by the difficulty of this task. Trying to minimize the effort to create albums, we developed a prototype called Twingle. Using Twingle the creation of an album requires dragging pictures into a page and the program is responsible for positioning and resizing. To investigate whether such an automatic layout generation could be an alternative to users, we made a study exploring Twingle with users from several ages and professional areas. The related works, the performed user study and its results are discussed here.
