Quick answer

## The short version

A group photo can look clear on a large screen yet become unreadable on a small book page. Judge the placed size of the people, not only the source’s total pixel count. A page with fewer images may communicate more when faces and identifying details need room.

## A practical workflow

Place the photo at the intended page size and inspect the smallest important face. Check whether the caption can identify people without relying on uncertain visual detail. Compare a full-page layout with a pair. If the original has too little useful information, seek a better scan or use a contextual image rather than treating AI detail as evidence of identity. Keep any restored version linked to its source and review likeness before including it.

## Worked planning example

Planning example: A class portrait has 28 pupils. In a paired square layout, individual faces become difficult to inspect. The editor gives it a full landscape-friendly area and keeps the roster in a separate reference document. The larger placement improves legibility without inventing facial detail.

## Check before you finish

1. Inspect the smallest important face at placed size.
2. Compare full-page and paired layouts.
3. Seek a better source when necessary.
4. Keep identity notes separate from AI guesses.
