1. A method for generating a photo product design, comprising:
calculating hash values for each image within a group of images;
calculating similarity distances between the images in the group of images using the hash values;
automatically grouping images from the group of images into a burst when the similarity distance between the images are below a burst threshold value;
automatically selecting a first image from the burst; and
displaying the first image on a user interface presented on a user computing device, wherein the first image is displayed in a photo product design.
