dslrBooth 7, Customizable Screens, Updated UI, and new subscription system

Customize Guest Screens

A much anticipated feature, users can now completely customize their guest facing screens with the new screen editors.

Change the color, size and location of your booth mode buttons for the start screen. To further customize buttons, you can now upload a JPG or PNG file to replace the standard circular button.
Upload your own background image or change the color of the background.
Adjust the location, size and look of sharing buttons on the sharing screen.

Settings for your screens are saved at the event level so each event can have its own customized design.

Screen Settings – Settings tab

Screen settings for the welcome, capture, and sharing screens can now easily be found under the respective tab in the screen editor. You’ll see a live preview of the screens as you make changes to visual settings.

Design Tab

Clicking on any element in the screen editor will automatically switch the tab on the right to DESIGN. The element will show in the layers panel where you can drag to reorder elements. The “Send Backward” and “Bring Forward” options have been moved to the bottom left of the screen.

New Settings Screens

We have redesigned all settings screen to be more modern, visually appealing, and organized. Settings now take up the entire screen for easier navigation. A new navigation bar appears at the top of each settings page, allowing users to move between settings easily to streamline events.

Camera and Capture Settings

Capture settings and camera settings have been merged, simplifying the configuration process for users.
Dedicated webcam settings have been added, allowing users to adjust webcam camera settings in one location. Change rotation and mirror image for live view have been moved to camera settings.

New Camera Support

We have added support for the following cameras:

Canon EOS R7, R8, R10, R50.
Canon EOS R6 Mark II.
Nikon Z30, Z780.
Nikon Z9 (works in either photo OR video mode because of camera switch).

New Subscription System

We are introducing new annual and monthly subscription options for dslrBooth Photo Booth Software. While dslrBooth has always required a renewal license every year, our system of managing licenses and renewals needed much improvement. You can now access, update, and manage all your dslrBooth applications and services from a central dashboard, simplifying software management. You can access this dashboard under fotoShare.co > Subscriptions > dslrBooth.

For customers whose license has not expired: You’ll automatically receive a FREE year of updates through our new subscription system by going through the new checkout process.
For customers whose license has expired: You’ll automatically receive a 50% discount on a annual subscription to dslrBooth of any quantity.

At this time, dslrBooth v6 and older will not automatically show the dslrBooth 7 update. Existing and new customers can download dslrBooth 7 from dslrBooth.com/download
