This release delivers a wide range of improvements across the photo booth experience, including new session flexibility, enhanced camera compatibility, a redesigned signature screen, better touch screen support, and dozens of stability and quality-of-life fixes.

Session & Booth Modes

• Added the ability to choose between Photo, GIF, and Boomerang sessions from the start screen, giving guests more flexibility at events
• Improved the start screen to correctly show session-type options when a virtual attendant video is configured
• Resolved an issue where choosing Boomerang-only mode with multiple favorite templates would incorrectly show the template selection screen
• Fixed an issue where the start screen animation would not appear when only one booth mode option was selected
• Templates on the start screen are now centered when guests are allowed to choose their own

Event Management

• Added the ability to save and reload settings per event, including templates, green screen backgrounds, and camera settings — making it easy to switch between recurring events or return to a previous setup
• Settings and templates are now automatically migrated when the data directory is changed in settings
• Improved protection against settings file corruption — the app now writes settings safely and keeps a backup to recover from crashes automatically

Digital Props

• Added digital props support, allowing guests to add fun overlays to their photos before final processing
• Resolved a memory issue that caused the digital props screen to hang or crash when using high-resolution DSLR photos

Photo Quality & Processing

• Fixed low-resolution output when photos were placed in stretched placeholders in a template
