why combine vertical photos on max interest factor?

[DylanRussell]

wouldn't it be better to combine vertical images with the min interest factor between them, given no points are awarded here?

a slide with vertical images next to a slide with vertical images could have more points this way

Not sure. We tried some approaches for pairing vertical slides, but it didn't work so well.

Two adjacent slides with vertical images can exist in this solution. If you have a horizontal slide and the best photo to pair it with is vertical, then we do that, then we check which other vertical image which will improve the score (or at least not decrease it). Then the next slide could also be two verticals again.

ok, understood. i just think combining vertical slides in that way possibly removes those slides' best partner. maybe combining before partnering would also help.
