Abstract
A photography system uses electronically-readable software to process graphic objects that have been captured by a digital camera or scanned to an electronically- readable format for display on a square display screen. The images can be organized according to the aspect ratio, chronologically or according to other criteria selected by a user. The system operates to organize the displayed images in inform rows and/or columns on the page of the display screen and provides consistent per aspect ratio image size for horizontal and vertical images and unrestricted on-screen image placement.
