Picking the handful of hero images for a wedding album from hundreds of similar frames benefits from a second, less emotionally-attached opinion on composition.
Run composition analysis on the shortlist of candidate hero shots, not every frame — it's a decision tool, not a full-gallery filter.
Compare two or three near-identical takes of the same moment to see which one the tool flags as better balanced.
Tips for this niche
Use it specifically on shots you're torn between — the couple's first kiss, the ring exchange — where the right choice matters most.
Treat the feedback as one input alongside your own read of the moment's emotional weight, not a final verdict.

Example scenario
Two frames of the same first-kiss moment are nearly identical except for where the couple sits in frame. Running both through composition analysis flags one as better using the rule-of-thirds with cleaner background separation, settling the choice for the album's opening spread.
Common mistakes
Running it on the whole gallery instead of the shortlist. it's a usage-capped tool best spent on genuinely close calls between hero-image candidates, not a bulk editing pass.
Overriding a strong emotional shot for a technically 'better' one. composition feedback describes framing, not the moment's significance — a slightly off-center shot of a real tear can outweigh a perfectly balanced but flatter one.
FAQ
Should composition analysis be run on every wedding photo?
No — it shares a monthly cap with two other AI tools, so it's best spent on genuine close calls between a handful of hero-image candidates, not a full gallery pass.
