PHOTO EMAILING - EVENT WORKFLOW

29/3/2019

0 Comments

 
Options for emailing photos to users are to be found in the 'Email files' section within the 'Event structure' tab, which is available in the Event Designer.
The options available for emailing photos are:
1 - No emailing
Picture
Photos will not be emailed to users.
2 - Forced emailing
Picture
After photos are taken, users will be shown the 'Email address' screen to force them to immediately email their photos.  They must enter a valid email address to continue, unless you add a Skip button to the 'Email address' screen.
3 - Optional emailing
Picture
After photos are taken, users will be shown the 'Photo options' screen to allow them to choose to email their photos.  If they choose to email their photos, they will then be shown the 'Email address' screen.  You can enter a number into the text box.  This is the number of times each user will be shown the 'Email button' on the Photo options screen, in other words it defines the number of times they can email their photos.
4 - Forced emailing followed by Optional emailing
Picture
After photos are taken, users will be shown the 'Email address' screen to force them to immediately email their photos.  They must enter a valid email address to continue, unless you add a Skip button to the 'Email address' screen.
​After they have completed the Email address screen, users will then be shown the 'Photo options' screen to allow them to choose to email their photos again.
5 - Send emails after the event
Picture
After photos are taken, users will be shown the 'Email address' screen to force them to enter a valid email address to continue, unless you add a Skip button to the 'Email address' screen.  When they have entered a valid email address,  RightBooth will save the email in the current event folder.   You can then send the emails later (e.g. after the event has finished) using the Email feature available in the RightBooth Tasks section.
6 - Automatic emailing
If you want to automatically email photos to one or more known email addresses, simply add the email addresses into the 'To' text box in the 'Event email' section of the 'Event Designer'.  In this example, RightBooth will automatically email all photos to personA@gmail.com and personB@hotmail.com:
Picture
IMPORTANT: Note the 'Send to user email address' checkbox in the above screenshot.  When this option is ticked (the default), event users will be able to perform emailing (as described in the options 1 to 5 above).  But if you untick this option,  then only personA and personB will receive emails, and event users will not be shown any emailing options.
Handling Emailing Problems
If RightBooth cannot send emails for whatever reason (e.g. no Internet connection), it will inform the user and then save the email files in the current event folder to allow you to email them at a later time within the RightBooth Tasks section.

RIGHTBOOTH VERSION 7.0.11

24/3/2019

0 Comments

 
Containing a number of minor feature additions and bug fixes, (refer to the Release Notes for details) this version also includes one major new feature: Photo Stamping...

Updated: Jan 2021

Stamp Property

An item whose Stamp property is ticked will be automatically added (overlaid) onto a captured photo if:
a) the item is positioned over a camera item on any event screen prior to the photo being taken, or
b) the item is positioned over the photo after it has been taken and is being displayed to the user.

In the Screen Designer, if Stamp items are positioned over any camera item on any screen that appears before the ‘Take photo’ screen, these items will be automatically added to every photo captured during the event.

In the Screen Designer, if Stamp items are positioned over any ‘photo placeholder’ item on any screen that appears after the ‘Take photo’ screen, these items will be automatically added to every photo captured during the event.

Alternatively in the Screen Designer, Stamp items which also have their ‘Can move’ property ticked can be initially positioned away from the camera item or ‘photo placeholder’ item.  Then when the event is playing, users can optionally drag ‘Add to photo’ items over the camera item (or the photo placeholder) item in order to decorate their photos.

This feature may also be used in combination with the Drawing Tools to allow users to ‘ink sign’ their photos and/or ‘item stamp’ their photos during the event.
​
Additionally, the Drawing Pad item can also accept stamped items that are positioned over it during the event.  And these items will then be included in the drawing pad image together with any drawing ink strokes made by users.

IMPORTANT:  If you plan to add stamps to a photo, camera, drawing pad or print layout item, the item MUST be un-rotated (i.e it must have an Angle of 0 degrees), otherwise the stamps will not be added in the correct position.

USING SNAP CAMERA IN RIGHTBOOTH

8/3/2019

0 Comments

 
Updated: Feb 2021
​
Snap Camera is an app from Snap Inc that allows you to apply lens effects onto live webcams, as found in the popular SnapChat app.  These effects can then be made to appear when playing your RightBooth event, allowing your users to select them and apply them to their RightBooth photo captures and video recordings.  Here’s how:

First: Download and install Snap Camera from here:
https://snapcamera.snapchat.com/
Configure Snap Camera Settings
Run Snap Camera.  In Snap Camera settings:
  • Choose your webcam
  • Set the ‘Turn Lens On/Off Hotkey’ to ‘Num + 0’
​Choose your Snap Camera lenses
Now choose your favourite Snap Camera lenses and set their Hotkeys to Num + 1, Num + 2, Num + 3, etc. 
​
Note that RightBooth can control up to 9 Snap Camera lenses (i.e maximum hotkey Num + 9).  Here we have chosen 3 lenses and have defined their hotkeys accordingly:

Keep Snap Camera running and we’ll now turn our attention to getting RightBooth working with Snap Camera.
​
RightBooth Settings for Snap Camera
  • In RightBooth Video Settings, choose the webcam:  Snap Camera Virtual Device
  • In RightBooth ‘Overlays and Props’ Settings, set the Snap Camera: Total lenses value to the number of favourite lenses you have defined in the Snap Camera app.  Note, in our example we set this value to 3.

Adding Snap Camera Interaction to RightBooth

Open the RightBooth event in which you would like to use Snap Camera lenses.
  • In Event Design --> Event Structure --> Start, tick the option: Reset Snap Camera. 
By doing this you will cause Snap Camera lenses to be removed from the webcam each time the event shows the Start screen.  This is useful to allow you to clear the previous user’s Snap Camera activity.

Now you can add various Snap Camera actions to any event screen item (such as buttons or images) in order to allow users to show/hide and select any of your defined set of favourite lenses. 

Available Snap Camera Actions
  • Snap Camera On – This action will turn the current Snap Camera lens on so that it is shown in the RightBooth webcam item.
  • Snap Camera Off – This action will turn the current Snap Camera lens off so that no Snap Camera lenses are showing in the RightBooth webcam item.
  • Snap Camera On/Off – This action will toggle the current Snap Camera lens on and off from the RightBooth webcam item.
  • Snap Camera +1 – This action will show your next favourite lens effect (from the set of lenses you have defined in Snap Camera) within the RightBooth webcam item.
  • Snap Camera -1 – This action will show your previous favourite lens effect (from the set of lenses you have defined in Snap Camera) within the RightBooth webcam item. 

Note that you can choose to add Snap Camera lens actions on any screen in the event and this gives you a lot of design flexibility.
​
Examples of some of the things you can do:
  • Allow users to select a Snap Camera lens before each RightBooth photo is captured.
  • Allow users to select a Snap Camera lens before each RightBooth video is recorded.
  • Allow users to change Snap Camera lenses while a RightBooth video is being recorded.
 
IMPORTANT RULES TO REMEMBER:
  1. Always start the Snap Camera app before you start the RightBooth app.
  2. Ensure that Snap Camera is not showing any lenses prior to playing your event.
  3. Do not use the Snap Camera app or the keyboard hotkeys to select lenses while your event is playing.
