Customization & Platform FAQ
What's the difference between Classic, Frame, and Self-photo mode?
Classic Mode captures a fixed sequence of still photos with countdowns; the frame applies after capture. Frame Mode picks the frame first, then guides the customer through one shot per aperture slot — best for themed or branded layouts. Self-photo Mode records a video clip with optional audio instead of stills, delivered digitally via the cloud gallery. Each project picks one mode. See Projects → Capture Modes.
Does Dreambooth support 2 cameras at the same time?
Yes. Dreambooth supports a primary plus a secondary camera running simultaneously — useful for dual-angle frames, redundancy, or A/B layouts. Each camera has its own rotation, ratio, mirror, and quality settings. See Multi-Camera Setup.
Can I use multiple printers at once?
Yes. Dreambooth runs up to 3 printers in parallel — primary, secondary, and tertiary — each with independent paper size, DPI, and orientation. Common patterns: different paper sizes per printer (e.g. 4R + A4) or round-robin parallel printing for high-volume events. See Multi-Printer Setup.
What paper sizes does Dreambooth support? A3, A4, 4R, 2R?
All of them. Dreambooth supports A3, A4, A4 newspaper, 4R (4×6), 2R (2×3), 2×6 strip cuts, 5×7, 6×8 / 6×9, and any custom dimensions your printer driver reports. Page size is set per printer in Printer Settings. See Paper Sizes.
Can one printer have two different paper-size configurations?
Yes. Install the same physical printer twice in Windows (each with a distinct name like "DS-RX1 (4x6)" and "DS-RX1 (Strip 2x6)"), then assign each Windows instance a different page size in Dreambooth's printer settings. Step-by-step guide: One Physical Printer, Two Configs.
What is a Project?
A project defines the experience on the booth: which frames and filters are used, flow options (e.g. start with payment, apply filter after capture), and other settings. You create and edit projects in the dashboard and assign one as active for each booth; the app loads the active project. See Projects.
How do Frames and Filters affect the app?
- Frames are templates/overlays applied to the final output (e.g. strip layout). You upload or create frames in the dashboard and assign them to a project; the app uses them when generating the result. See Frames.
- Filters (LUT or legacy/manual) change the look of the photo. They are assigned to the project and applied in the app at capture or after, depending on project settings. See Filters.
Can I use LUT filters and still keep legacy filters?
Yes. The platform supports both LUT-based filters and legacy/manual filters. You can use one system or both; see Filters for the recommended approach and backward compatibility.
Why do previews look different between dashboard and app?
Previews in the dashboard are often rendered in the browser and may use different scaling or color handling than the app on the booth (which uses the actual camera and print pipeline). For print alignment and final look, always do a test print from the app. See Frames for tips.
How do Vouchers work at checkout?
Vouchers are codes (e.g. discount or free session) that guests can enter at checkout. When a valid voucher is applied, the price or flow is updated accordingly. You create and manage vouchers in the dashboard and assign them to projects or make them available globally as per your setup. See Voucher.
