Abstract
Photographic context assistance is provided by overlaying a composition grid selected by the user or by a machine learning algorithm onto the image of a viewfinder of a camera, and then providing audible and/or visual cues as to moving the aim point to better conform the image to the grid. Fine tuning may be effected using, for instance, stabilization hardware to gently adjust the view to better conform the image to the grid before snapping a shot.
