Layout editor
A layout determines what the finished picture looks like: how many captures are on it, where they sit, what surrounds them. Layouts belong to the event.
The editor opens through "Layout editor" in the menu or through the icon at the top of the admin area.
How it is built#
| Part | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Canvas | The area of the finished picture. Common sizes are provided, custom ones can be created and named |
| Placeholders | The image slots the captures go into. Their number decides how many captures a session takes |
| Elements | Graphics, texts, shapes and backgrounds |
| Layers | The list of all elements, with order, show/hide and edit |
| Effects | Applied to individual elements, such as borders or shadows |
| Preview | Shows the layout filled with the preview photo |
Creating a layout#
- Choose the canvas size to match the paper format (6 × 4 or photo strip, for instance).
- Insert and arrange the placeholders.
- Add graphics and texts — logo, date, names, frames.
- Use the layers to set the order: whatever should sit on top of the photo goes to the top.
- Save, then check in the preview.
- In "Capture modes & layout assignment", enable the layout for the mode you want.
Fonts#
Texts use installed fonts. If one is missing, the editor says so explicitly — otherwise the printed picture would look different from the preview.
Fonts belong to the event and travel with a preset or an event package.
Import and export#
- Export layout writes a ZIP file with the layout and its graphics.
- Import layout reads it back in — on another booth as well.
- Templates in dslrBooth and LumaBooth format can also be imported directly, as sold by template vendors.
