## 🎨 Advanced Artistic Layouts

Go beyond simple grid galleries. SCDev Montage features sophisticated, algorithmic layouts that instantly turn raw images into professional artwork:

- **Wired Pages:** Renders a hyper-realistic, spiral-bound notebook effect with tight, aesthetic binding rings.
- **Circle Collages:** Automatically processes images into perfectly equal-sized circles, applying controlled, artistic stagger offsets for a dynamic, modern look.
- **Shattered Image Pieces:** Break images apart into creative, staggered shards for a truly unique presentation.
- **Rectangle & Overlap:** Precision-fixed overlap sizing ensures your rectangle collages always look mathematically balanced and visually striking.

## ⚡ Built for Uncompromising Performance

We know that image galleries can slow down a website. That's why SCDev Montage is strictly engineered for speed:

- **WebP-Only Final Exports:** The plugin automatically processes and flattens complex collages into a single, highly-optimized WebP image. You get the artistic complexity of 20 layered images with the payload size of just one!
- **Zero Front-End Bloat:** The final output is just a standard, blazing-fast image tag. No heavy JavaScript masonry libraries or massive CSS grids required to view the final product.

## 🔒 Role-Based Access Control
