Photobooth Shooting 51
© 2014 Breeze Systems Ltd
An optional touchscreen keyboard can be displayed at the start or end of the photo booth shooting
sequence to allow users to enter information such as their email address. This information is stored in
the XML file saved after each shooting sequence. Use the dropdown list to select when the
touchscreen keyboard should be displayed and the "Test keyboard..." button to test it. Please see the
section describing the touchscreen keyboard for more details.
Saving settings for future reference and using profiles
Settings can be saved to file for future reference by pressing the "Save..." button and reloaded by
pressing the "Load..." button. This is makes it possible to define a number of different layouts which
can be selected before entering fullscreen photobooth mode. Please note that layout depends on the
size of the page which is affected by the printer settings. The values saved for one setup may not
produce the same results if a different printer is used or the page or resolution settings have changed.
The image download directory specified in preferences is not saved with the photobooth settings, but
you can use the tokens {photoboothDir} and {photoboothSubdir} to specify a different output directory
for each profile.
{photoboothDir} gives the full path of the photobooth images folder e.g. C:
\Photobooth\Layouts\MyLayout
{photoboothSubdir} gives the name of the photobooth subfolder e.g. if the photobooth images folder is
C:\Photobooth\Layouts\MyLayout then {photoboothSubdir} would become MyLayout
For example:
strips_profile: outputs standard photobooth strips to the default printer and uses C:
\Photobooth\Layouts\strips as its photobooth images dir
cubes_profile: takes four photos with the output set to 'none' and uses C:\Photobooth\Layouts\cubes
as its photobooth images dir. Its output directory is then monitored by the Hot Folder Prints utility which
formats the images as a photo cube and sends them to a different printer.
To make this work the download directory in preferences could be set to C:
\Photobooth\Output\{photoboothSubdir}. This would save images from the strips_profile to C:
\Photobooth\Output\strips and the cubes_profile to C:\Photobooth\Output\cubes. The Hot Folder Prints
utility could then be setup to monitor the C:\Photobooth\Output\cubes folder for images and print them
out automatically when the required number of images are available.
Profiles allow you to use a keyboard shortcut (or touchscreen action) to automatically switch between
different sets of saved settings. To assign a profile to a keyboard shortcut click on the "Profiles..."
button at the bottom of the photobooth settings dialog to display the following dialog:
