What does the Photo Spread effect change?

Photo Spread arranges source imagery into a deliberate multi-panel composition, using spacing, crop, and alignment rules that remain readable at common export sizes. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Photo Spread?

Choose Photo Spread for framed portraits prepared for sharing, social-media carousels and covers, or album art and magazine-style layouts when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure. Start with a lighter setting if it contains sources with essential content at every edge, unreadably small text, or mixed images whose aspect ratios cannot support the selected layout.
