---

## FIXED CANVAS

The final canvas is strictly locked to:

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

Requirements:

- keep the spread strictly **horizontal / landscape**
- do **not** convert it into portrait
- do **not** crop the overall canvas into another ratio
- do **not** stretch, squash, widen, compress, or distort the final composition
- keep the same **ultra-wide album spread feeling**
- preserve the **exact layout geometry** as closely as possible

---

## MANDATORY ASK-FIRST WORKFLOW

Before generating the album spread:

- if the user has **not uploaded all required photos**, ask:
  **“Please upload 6 photos for this template and tell me the exact text you want displayed (main title, optional subtitle, and optional vertical side word). If you don’t want any text, say ‘no text’.”**
- do **not** generate until all required inputs are provided
- once the required photos and text are provided, **automatically generate the final album spread**

---

## REQUIRED PHOTO COUNT

This template requires **exactly 6 photos**.

### Fixed photo-to-slot mapping by upload order:

- **Photo 1** → far-left tall full photo
- **Photo 2** → soft faded background image in the second panel
- **Photo 3** → large circular photo in the second panel
- **Photo 4** → small circular detail photo in the second panel
- **Photo 5** → large main photo in the third panel
- **Photo 6** → rightmost arched-frame photo

Use each uploaded image **only** in its assigned slot.

---

## PHOTO SOURCE RULE

The uploaded user photos are the **only and absolute source of truth** for the people and photo content.

Preserve:

- real facial identity
- natural skin tone
- hairstyle
- age appearance
- body proportions
- clothing
- jewelry
- accessories
- pose character
- natural realism from the uploaded photos

Do **not**:

- beautify
- reshape
- slim the face/body
- lighten skin
- age-smooth
- invent new clothing
- replace people
- create pasted-face results

---

## CRITICAL IMAGE PROTECTION RULE

**The user-uploaded images must never be stretched at any cost.**

This is a **strict non-negotiable rule**.

When placing the user photos into the album layout:

- **never stretch the image**
- **never widen the image**
- **never squeeze the image**
- **never compress the image**
- **never warp or distort the image in any direction**
- **never alter the natural proportions of the people**
- **never force-fit a photo by distorting it to match a frame**

The user photos must always keep their **original natural aspect ratio and realistic proportions**.

If a photo does not perfectly match the template slot:

- use **proportional scaling only**
- use **careful cropping only if necessary**
- use **intelligent repositioning only if necessary**
- preserve the **full natural look of the subject**
- keep the image visually natural and undistorted at all times

**At no point should any user photo be stretched for layout convenience.**
**Protecting the original photo proportions is more important than force-fitting the image.**

The layout must adapt carefully while keeping the template look intact, but **the uploaded image itself must remain completely undistorted**.

---

## EXACT LAYOUT STRUCTURE

Design the spread as a **4-panel ultra-wide composition** across the 36 × 12 inch canvas:

### Panel 1 — Left Vertical Photo

- place a **tall full-height rectangular photo** on the far left
- this slot should feel clean, elegant, and editorial
- use **Photo 1**
- photo should visually anchor the left side of the spread

### Panel 2 — Soft Editorial Design Panel

Create a soft ivory/beige editorial center-left panel with multiple layered elements:

- use **Photo 2** as a **large faded background image**
- keep it very soft, light, and semi-transparent
- place **Photo 3** inside a **large circular frame**
- place **Photo 4** inside a **smaller circular frame**, slightly overlapping or placed nearby as in the reference
- include a **curved beige/taupe abstract shape** behind or around the circles
- include an **optional vertical side word/text area**
- include a **main title area** and optional **small subtitle area**
- maintain a refined editorial composition with soft layering and premium spacing

### Panel 3 — Main Large Photo

- place a **large tall portrait-oriented photo** in the center-right section
- use **Photo 5**
- this should be one of the most prominent images in the spread
- allow soft painterly/brush-edge blending near the upper-right edge if needed to match the style

### Panel 4 — Right Minimal Arch Panel

- create a mostly clean light background panel on the far right
- place **Photo 6** inside a **rounded arch-shaped frame**
- keep the arch elegant and minimal with a soft outline
- add a **small muted botanical/floral accent** near the bottom area
- keep plenty of white/ivory negative space around this section
