This release introduces several new creative tools for photographers — including a high-framerate Boomerang mode, 360° green screen backgrounds, and post-processing integration — along with meaningful improvements to touch screen reliability, the sharing experience, and overall stability.

Animated Content

• Added a new Boomerang capture mode that records a one-second burst from live view and generates a smooth, high-framerate GIF that plays forward then backward automatically
• Animated GIFs are now displayed as animations in the Browse screen, so guests can preview their Boomerang and GIF captures before sharing

Green Screen

• Added support for 360° and 180° equirectangular backgrounds in green screen mode, enabling immersive spherical photo experiences
• 360° green screen photos can now be posted directly to a guest's Facebook wall

Post-Processing

• Added a Post-Processing option that allows a third-party application (such as a Photoshop droplet) to automatically retouch each photo before it is shared or printed; the app monitors for the finished file and seamlessly continues the workflow

Touch Screen

• Resolved an issue where tapping a thumbnail in the Browse screen would highlight it but not open the photo
• Touch dragging to reorder layers in the strip designer now works correctly without requiring a mouse

Sharing & Printing

• Resolved an issue where print jobs submitted from the fotoShare mobile app were not completing correctly
• The in-app printing notification is no longer shown when a print is triggered from fotoShare, avoiding confusion for guests
• Fixed a bug where photos and prints were not appearing in the local web service or Browse view when the survey feature was enabled

Camera & Live View

• The application title bar now updates to "dslrBooth - Camera Not Ready" when the camera is disconnected, making it immediately clear that the camera needs attention
• Webcam live view is now paused at the end of a session to reduce CPU usage on slower machines and speed up post-capture processing

Welcome Screen

• Added a Welcome screen that appears when dslrBooth launches, providing quick access to recent templates, help resources, and support links; it can be turned off from settings

Social Media

• Updated Facebook integration to API version 2.9 for continued compatibility with Facebook sharing and album features

Stability & Performance

• Resolved a crash that could occur when canceling a session
• Resolved an error caused by a live view frame with invalid dimensions, which could interrupt the capture workflow
• Upgraded the image processing library to correctly handle file paths containing Unicode characters, fixing errors that occurred when the system temp folder used special characters
• Improved the speed of GIF and Boomerang generation
