Participants will have the opportunity to make a few choices about the appearance of their pictures both before and after capturing their pictures, depending on your settings.

All customizations can be made from your preset settings in the Photo Design, Chroma Key, and Photo Editing panels.

⚠️ Not all customizations are available on all plans, see below for more information on availability ⚠️


Pre-Capture Tools

The following settings, when enabled, will be available for participants to choose from after "tapping to start" but before their picture(s) are captured.

These customizations are also available to enable as participant editing tools, allowing your guests to make adjustments after they take their pictures.

Multiple Layouts

Enabling the choose layout feature will prompt participants to pick between four layouts after they “tap to start.”

These layouts currently include a Single 1x1, GIF, Live GIF, and Rebound. We hope to introduce more options in the future!

Multiple Overlays

Allow participants to choose between a selection of overlays before they take their picture.

Background Replacement (Chroma Key)

Certain plans support multiple backgrounds per preset, allowing participants to pick between the options.

Glam Filter

Our glam tool will smooth out wrinkles and blemishes. When enabled as a pre capture tool, you will set a default filter type and strength that will automatically apply to the pictures.

The two filter methods are optimized to work on different ranges of skin tones, with “glam-more” working a little better on darker skin tones and “glam” working a little better on lighter skin tones.

Because of those differences in filter methods, we recommend enabling glam as a participant editing tool whenever you have it enabled as a pre capture tool so that each guest can choose what works best for them.


Post-Capture Tools

The following settings, when enabled, will be available for participants to choose from after capturing their picture(s).

A retake button is always available from this page, even when all other edit tools are disabled.

Enabling Edit Tools

These tools can be enabled from your Photo Editing panel.

Click or tap "Manage Tools," then click (in app, drag or tap) or use the arrow icons to activate or deactivate different tools. Tools under the “available tools” column will be available to participants

Drag & drop the tools to reorder them.


Tools & Configurations

Certain edit tools can be configured to a greater extent depending on your plan.


Layout

Participants can choose between different layout types when enabled.

This tool will be limited based on the number of frames initially captured (for example, we cannot create a 1x3 photo strip if the participant took a single photo).

Configuration

Start in your Photo Editing panel. The row for the layout tool will include an edit button, which allows you to access a list of available layouts. Layouts in the "selected" column will be available to participants.


Overlays & Background Replacement

Enable these pre-capture tools as post-capture tools too.

The overlay & background replacement will include all of the assets saved to your settings.


Glam Filter

Allow participants to adjust the filter type and strength of the filter.

The glam tool cannot be configured.


Crop

Allow participants to change the crop type on their picture(s).

The crop tool cannot be configured.


GIF Speed

If the participant uses the GIF layout, this tool allows them to adjust the playback speed to be slower or faster.

The GIF speed tool cannot be configured.


Rearrange

Allow participant to shuffle the frames of their layout around.

The rearrange tool cannot be configured.


Props

Props rely on face detection to automatically size and place digital props on the pictures. We have a library of free props to pick from as well as custom props on certain plans.

This tool will be disabled if the software does not detect a face in the frame.

Configuration

There are two ways to set up your props.

The first is to use the Photo Editing panel's button to access a list of all the available props. Move individual props to the "selected" column in order to enable them.

The second is to find the Prop panel (below the Photo Editing panel) in order to browse by prop packs. Clicking or tapping into a pack will open a preview of all the props belonging to that pack, they will all be pre-selected by default. You can disable any props you don't want to include before saving.

Custom prop packs must be configured from the prop editor before they can be enabled from your preset settings.


Stickers

Participants can drag, drop and re-size your stickers on their layout.

Configuration

Upload files to your stickers panel.


Margin Color

Allow participants to readjust the color of their picture's margins.

This tool will be disabled if margins are not present on your layout.

Configuration

Start in your Photo Editing panel. The row for the color tool will include an edit button, which allows you to access a list of available colors with some enabled by default.

Click (in app, drag or tap) or use the arrow icons to activate or deactivate default colors.

Use the "+" button to choose a new color with the color wheel or hex code input.


Drawing

Allow participants to draw free-hand on their pictures.

Color Configuration

Start in your Photo Editing panel. The row for the drawing tool will include an edit button, which allows you to access a list of available colors with some enabled by default.

Click (in app, drag or tap) or use the arrow icons to activate or deactivate default colors.

Use the "+" button to choose a new color with the color wheel or hex code input.

Drawable Area Configuration

Avoid letting participants color of your logo or other important elements of your pictures by limiting the area that participants can draw on.

Find the in-app Drawing panel (below the Photo Editing panel) and tap "choose area" to restrict. A custom prompt can also be added from this panel. We do not recommend configuring the drawable area from your online dashboard.


Filters

Photo filters will make pictures warmer, cooler, or black & white.

Configuration

Configuring filters allows you to narrow down the available options.

Start in your Photo Editing panel. The row for the filters tool will include an edit button, which allows you to access a list of available filters.

Filters in the "selected" column will be available to participants.


Tips

  • Consider limiting to 1-3 tools per event. Too many choices can overwhelm participants and result in longer session times.

  • Incompatible edit tools will be automatically disabled. Find more information about restrictions for each tool above.

  • Practice caution when using the crop or layout edit tool together with custom graphics; the logo or overlay you designed for your default layout may not translate well to all of the options available in your settings. Be sure to test!
