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  Photos will not be emailed to users. 2 - Forced emailing  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  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  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  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:  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.

Stamp Property An item whose Stamp property is ticked (we will refer to this as a Stamp item) will be automatically added (overlaid) onto a captured photo if: a) the Stamp item is positioned over a Camera item on any event screen prior to the photo being taken, or b) the Stamp item is positioned over the photo after it has been taken and is being displayed to the user on any event screen. In the Screen Designer, if Stamp items are placed and positioned over any Camera item on any Event screen that appears before the ‘Take photo’ screen, then these Stamp items will be automatically added to every photo that is captured during the event. This applies to webcam and DSLR camera items. In the Screen Designer, if Stamp items are positioned over any ‘photo placeholder’ item on any event screen that appears after the ‘Take photo’ screen, these Stamp items will be automatically added to every photo captured during the event. Can Move Property Alternatively in the Screen Designer, Stamp items which also have their ‘Can move’ property ticked can be initially placed and positioned away from the Camera item or ‘photo placeholder’ item. Then when the event is playing, users can optionally drag 'Can move' Stamp items over the Camera item (or the photo placeholder) item in order to decorate their photos. All Stamp items that are placed over photos will be added to the photo image file and will also be included in any printing of the photo. Other Uses of Stamp Items
IMPORTANT: If you plan to add Stamp items onto a photo, camera item, drawing pad or print layout item, the item that is accepting the Stamp items MUST be un-rotated on the event screen in the Screen Designer, in other words it must have an Angle of 0 degrees otherwise the Stamp items will not be added in the correct position. Moving, Sizing and Rotating Stamp Items When the user selects a stamp item (either with the mouse or touching it on a touchscreen), two pick-up boxes will be displayed, one for stamp rotation and one for stamp sizing. This video shows how it is possible to move, size and rotate Stamp items into place on a captured photo:
Updated April 2022 There are a number of ways to achieve portrait video and photo capture with RightBooth. 1 Physically rotate and mount the camera at 90 degrees and also rotate the camera input by 90 degrees in RightBooth This is explained in the following tutorial: The above tutorial discusses using a webcam, but the same principle also applies when using DSLR and GoPro cameras. You can physically mount your DSLR/GoPro camera at 90 degrees, then in RightBooth Camera DSLR settings (or GoPro Settings) you need to rotate the input by 90 degrees. Make sure the video recording W and H values are set to the video landscape values of the camera and also the 'Reduce photo size' W and H values are set to the photo landscape aspect ratio size of the camera. In the following example I am using a Canon DSLR 1100D set to capture photos at S1 quality, which is 2256x1504 pixels, and this is an aspect ratio of 1.5:1. So I have the photo reduction also set to 1.5:1, namely: W = 1500, H = 1000. I have also set the video W and H to be the same as the camera's video recording size 1920x1080. Finally, I tick the Rotate 90 checkbox and RightBooth will now ensure that the camera input appears in Portrait mode at the correct aspect ratio:  2 Mount the camera horizontally (un-rotated) and crop the input in RightBooth Using this solution RightBooth will crop the landscape camera feed (webcam or DSLR), discarding the left and right sections of the input to leave a central portion that is any aspect ratio you require, such as square or portrait. Obviously this solution is not as good as the first solution because you are discarding useful sections of the camera input and you are therefore effectively reducing the resolution in your captured files. In this example I have chosen to crop both DSLR video and photo inputs. I have cropped the video to 604x1080, which is an aspect ratio that is close to a rotated HD input. With photos I have cropped to 700x1000 which is providing a slightly wider Portrait input, as seen in the live view:  It is worth mentioning here that there are no hard and fast rules on cropping. Simply choose values that produce video and photos aspect ratios that work for you.
Handling Automatic Camera Orientation Some cameras, such as newer GoPro models. have the option of changing the orientation between landscape and portrait directly on the camera itself. Also, some cameras will automatically alter the orientation between landscape and portrait depending upon how you mount the camera. Please be aware that if you alter the orientation on the camera itself, there is no need to use the 'Rotate 90' setting in RightBooth, and you only need to make sure that RightBooth has the W and H values to match your oriented camera's recorded W and H values. RightBooth version 7.0.10 now includes the new actions: 'Next desktop' and 'Previous Desktop' to allow your event users to switch to other Windows virtual desktops that may contain applications you would like them to view or interact with as part of your event design.
Details are available in the latest RightBooth User Manual and there is also a training video available.
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 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
Adding Snap Camera Interaction to RightBooth Open the RightBooth event in which you would like to use Snap Camera lenses.
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
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:
