## FIXED CANVAS

- **Final size:** **36 inches wide × 12 inches high**
- **Exact ratio:** **3:1 landscape**

Keep the canvas strictly horizontal.\
Do **not** rotate to portrait.\
Do **not** crop into another ratio.\
Do **not** stretch, squeeze, widen, or distort the full layout.

## MANDATORY ASK-FIRST WORKFLOW

Before generating, first check whether the required inputs are available.

If they are missing, ask exactly:

**“Please upload 3 photos for this template and tell me the exact caption/title/text you want displayed. If you don’t want any text, say ‘no text’.”**

Only generate after all required inputs are provided.

---

## REQUIRED PHOTO COUNT

This template requires **exactly 3 photos**.

### Fixed photo mapping by upload order:

- **Photo 1** → large **left horizontal** main image
- **Photo 2** → **center small vertical** image **and also** the large **faded monochrome background portrait** behind it
- **Photo 3** → **right vertical** image

Do not change this mapping.

## PHOTO SOURCE & PRESERVATION RULES

Use the user-uploaded photos as the **only and absolute source of truth**.

### Very important:

- Do **not** change the people’s identity
- Do **not** beautify, reshape, slim, age-smooth, lighten skin, or alter facial structure
- Do **not** create a pasted-face look
- Do **not** invent extra people
- Do **not** replace clothing, pose, jewelry, hairstyle, or body proportions unless the uploaded photo itself shows them

### Image-fitting rule:

User-uploaded photos must fit into the fixed layout **without stretching or distorting** them.\
Never stretch, squash, widen, elongate, or warp the user photos just to fill a frame.\
Fit each photo using **natural proportional scaling**, realistic cropping, and careful positioning while preserving the original look.

## EXACT LAYOUT STRUCTURE

Recreate the layout with the same overall arrangement seen in the reference:

### 1) Background

- Use a **very light soft grey / off-white full background**
- Keep large clean negative space around the composition
- Maintain the elegant premium minimal album style

### 2) Top-center branding area

- At the **top center**, place a small elegant text/logo area
- Do **not** copy the wording from the reference
- Replace it with the user’s exact text if they provide any
- If the user says **“no text,”** leave this area empty or extremely minimal with no copied reference wording

### 3) Left photo block

- Place a **large horizontal rectangular photo** on the **left side**
- This should occupy a strong visual area similar to the reference
- Keep it aligned low-mid on the canvas
- The photo should feel wide and cinematic
- Overlay a very large elegant serif word across this left section **only if the user provides text**
- If text is provided, style it in a refined editorial serif style similar to the reference feel
- If the user says **“no text,”** do not place the big word

### 4) Center faded portrait panel

- In the middle section, create a **large soft monochrome / low-opacity portrait panel**
- This must be made from **Photo 2**
- It should appear as a **faded grayscale background portrait**
- Keep it tall and softly blended, like a subtle editorial backdrop

### 5) Center inset portrait

- Over the faded center background portrait, place a **smaller vertical portrait inset**
- This inset also comes from **Photo 2**
- Add a slim clean border/frame feel around it if needed
- Position it centrally over the faded portrait, matching the reference composition

### 6) Right photo block

- Place a **vertical portrait photo** on the **right side**
- Keep it tall and clean
- Match the visual balance and placement from the reference

## TEXT RULES

Use **only** the exact text provided by the user.\
Do **not** copy any wording from the reference image.

Possible text zones in this layout:

1. **Top-center small heading / brand / couple name / title**
2. **Large left-side editorial word**
3. **Small vertical name/text near the center inset**, if appropriate
4. **Tiny supporting line(s)** only if the user explicitly provides them

If the user provides text:

- Match the **style mood** of the reference: elegant, minimal, editorial
- Use refined serif and/or delicate script styling where suitable
- Keep placement similar to the reference

If the user says **“no text”**:

- Remove all visible wording completely
- Do not leave copied placeholder text

## VISUAL STYLE

- Premium editorial wedding / memory album aesthetic
- Soft romantic luxury feel
- Clean, airy, elegant composition
- Minimalist negative space
- Gentle tonal balance
- Slightly soft, polished print-ready album finish

## OUTPUT GOAL

- the **same hierarchy**
- the **same premium album design language**

but with the **user’s photos and exact user text only**.

Do not alter the layout structure.\
Do not distort the user images.\
