1. An automated method of making an image product, comprising the steps of:
providing a GUI for displaying digital images and digital image templates on a display; providing a template having a template size and two or more template openings for display in the GUI, each template opening having a template opening size, a maximum template opening size, and a template opening center point; receiving a digital image having an image size; determining a viewing distance for the digital image, wherein the viewing distance is the distance from which the image product will be viewed; calculating a maximum print size or maximum display size, wherein calculating the maximum print size or maximum display size includes determining if the number of pixels per size in each dimension is below a threshold resolution, and wherein the threshold resolution is determined by the viewing distance and the image size; receiving a template opening selection associated with the received digital image, wherein the maximum template opening size of the selected template opening is smaller than the calculated maximum print size or maximum display size; using a processor to automatically compare the maximum print size or maximum display size to the template opening size of the template opening selection; if the maximum print size or maximum display size is different than the template opening size of the template opening selection, automatically forming a modified template opening centered at the template opening center point of the template opening selection and reducing the image size to provide an image size less than or equal to the maximum template opening size of the template opening selection; using the processor to automatically composite the digital image into the modified template opening; and communicating the composited template. |
