Mirror booths, Ipad Booths Vs Traditional booths

Typically a Mirror Booth is in a “portrait” (vertical / up & down) camera orientation. The reason for this is the glass in the mirror is floor to ceiling in a portrait orientation. The reason why the mirror does this is to capture full body shots.

A Traditional Booth typically uses a “landscape” (horizontal / left to right). Landscape shoots wide. If you want to get big groups in a wider photo then this is the way to go.

An iPad Booth typically uses a “universal” (either orientation). Feel free to use any template. *check with your app developer that their app supports this function. (Ex: Curator & Snappic do)

Why does it matter with a DSLR? A DSLR camera is dependent on a mirror to take the photo in it’s correct orientation. That’s why you see professional photographers flipping or turning their cameras during a shoot.

*However, if you are shooting one photo and are ok with narrow cropping you can use a landscape camera orientation with a portrait photo cut out on your template.

Remember this: Your camera orientation must match your photo cut outs while using a DSLR camera.

Is the template editable?

If you see the PS (Photoshop) and PSE (Photoshop Elements) logos in the right corner of the product display on the template you are looking at then it is editable. We make sure that we have that on every editable product.

We use photoshop to create the templates for you. If you need photoshop it is $10 a month using the photography plan on photoshop.com.

Alternatively, you could use any image editor that can open and edit layered photoshop files. photopea.com is an example of a free alternative.

What if I am using a template that doesn’t have the photoshop icons?
Typically, these are animated overlays or videos (start screens). You can watermark your animated overlays by adding the logo to each png file we give you in the folder. On videos you would need to use a video editor to add your watermark (logo) to the mp4 file we provide.
