Hello,
This is concerning the photobooth mode. I use the PSremote version, though it isn't really exclusive to that specific version.
Currently, I am using Photoboof, which I'm sure you are familiar with. I like the PSremote software, and I like the customization abilities available on the print outs, so I'm thinking about switching to using the photobooth mode of PSremote, but I have a few questions. Since my booth was originally built with photoboof in mind, i kind of need a program that works kind of the same way.
First, I was wondering if there was any way to launch the viewer on a second monitor. The way my photo booth is set up, my laptop runs the program so that I can check the status and do other things while the viewer is put onto a second monitor that people inside the booth see. This is the most important thing for me.
I know that currently you can set it to either print or not, but being able to choose the number of prints you want would be great. One of the options I offer is to print two copies of each photo booth session, so that feature would be great.
Also, since I would be coming from Photoboof, currently my shooting sequence is triggered by a serial port button (though connected using a serial port to usb adapter). Any thoughts of adding support for that?
Finally, has any thought been given to potentially being able to save print configurations. I would love to be able to set up four or five layouts and name them layout1, 2, 3, 4, or whatever. Then when I set up at an event, I just start the program, select a pre-made layout and i'm ready to go.
These are just a few observations, and you may or may not agree with them, but I just wanted to throw those out there to see what people think.
Thanks for your time
