This package introduces a new float type called photo which works similar to the float types table and figure. Various options exist for placing photos, captions, and a “photographer” line. In twocolumn documents, a possibility exists to generate double-column floats automatically if the photo does not fit into one column. Photos do not have to be placed as floats, they can also be placed as boxes, with captions and photographer line still being available.
