The Preset page allows you to control the booth-side settings and picture customizations. If you're not yet familiar with the booth’s flow, you may want to review the participant experience first.
Settings are organized into different panels within the Preset page, as described below. You can find detailed information about each panel by clicking on the section headers.
Photo Design
Use the Photo Design panel to control how pictures appear by default. You can:
Choose a layout (motion-based or traditional)
Apply filters and crop types
Add custom graphics like logos and overlays
Enable the Layout Chooser so participants can select a layout before capturing photos
📍 Note: a few other panels (like Themes & Background Replacement) can contribute to the picture's appearance when used.
Themes are a simple way to quickly customize your booth and can be used alone or together with your own custom graphics. They apply a matching start screen and overlay to your layout.
📍 Themes can only be accessed from the HALO app.

Choose between a light or dark theme for your booth's background.
