How it works

From setup to last guest

A practical workflow for photographers and booth operators — what to do before doors open and how to run fast on event day.

Before the event

Pre-event checklist

  1. Install & activate

    Download for Mac or Windows. Enter your license key or run in demo mode. Connect your Gemini or OpenAI API key in Settings.

  2. Choose your AI style

    Pick a template (superhero, coloring book, etc.) or build a custom prompt and save it for reuse. Star favorites — they'll pin to your booth dashboard. Upload the event logo for AI integration inside the artwork.

  3. Test name + logo

    Type a sample guest name in the booth field. Run one full capture → generate → print cycle and confirm the name and logo show up naturally in the AI output.

  4. Configure print layout

    Open Print Setup — size, overlays, QR if needed. Send a test print to your DNP or verify hot folder path.

  5. Camera & presentation

    Plug in USB webcam, select in Camera dropdown, allow permissions. Optional: connect presentation display for guest-facing slideshow.

Event day

Running the booth

  1. Guest steps up → Take Photo

    Capture from webcam (or auto-import from tether folder). Attendant enters the guest's name — it flows into the AI prompt. Every generation is unique: same theme, different artwork each time.

  2. AI runs automatically

    With auto-generate on, each capture enters the queue. Live strip shows template name and timer. Guests see progress on presentation screen.

  3. Ready → Print

    Queue shows ready lane in green. Print individually or Print all ready. Compare original vs AI before printing if needed.

  4. Share & repeat

    Hot folder sends files to your sharing app. QR gallery on presentation for phone downloads. Queue keeps history for reprints.

High-volume tips

Enable compact queue view, use Print all ready, pause queue if printer needs attention. 1080p webcam is enough — skip huge DSLR files.

When something fails

Issues lane collects errors. Retry one job or retry all. Footer links: Tips, Driver Links, Support. What's New shows after updates.
