Photobooth Setup

Use the camera drop down list to select your webcam and the resolution drop down list to select the resolution for still photos and video. The media type is shown in brackets in the resolution drop down list. Please note that not all media types will work but most webcams should support RGB24, YUYV or MJPG. If the live view display is sluggish you may need to select a lower resolution or use a more powerful computer.

For video booth shooting you need to select both the video resolution and the audio source.

The rotation setting can be used to rotate the images for stills pictures only. This is useful if you want to take portrait orientation images by turning the webcam.

This rest of section gives detailed information about the various photobooth settings. If you want to get started as quickly as possible you can use the photobooth setup wizard to set everything up and then come back to this page later to find out more about tweaking the various settings.

The display settings tab in the photobooth settings dialog is used to setup the number of photos, the input options and how the photobooth screens are displayed:

First select the number of images to be taken and the delay before taking each photo. The delay before taking the first photo can be set to a different value than that for the remaining photos. This is useful when using a touchscreen as it means a longer delay can be set before the first photo to give people time to move back from the touchscreen.

After taking each photo a preview can be displayed on the screen for a specified number of seconds (set this to 0 to disable the preview). When the "Minimum duration in seconds before closing 'processing' screen is set to 0 the 'processing' screen will be close as soon as the data has been sent to the printer. The 'processing' screen can be displayed for longer by adjusting this value. This is useful if you want to keep displaying a message such as "Thank you! Your photos are being printed, please leave the booth now" for longer than it takes to print the images.

The countdown text is displayed before shooting each image and is updated every second. The following tokens can be used when defining the countdown text:

@secsToNextPhoto@ - the number of seconds until the next photo in the sequence is taken

By default the live view images are displayed at the top of the screen with the count down text beneath. The position of the live view images can be adjusted using the "Live view offset from the top of the screen" setting.

If the count down text offset is set to 0 the count down text is automatically displayed centered in the spare space above or below the live view images (depending on whether there is more space above or below the live view images). Please make sure there is enough space for the count down text when setting the live view size and position.

Alternatively the countdown text can be manually positioned on the screen by setting the offset to a non-zero value. This value is the number of pixels the text is offset from the top of the screen. If required, the countdown text can be positioned so that it overlays the live view images.

Select "Enable live view for fullscreen photobooth shooting" to display live view images in the fullscreen photobooth shooting mode. The live view image can be mirrored so that the user sees the image the same way round as when looking in a mirror. Use the height setting to resize the live view images. The live view images can be positioned by using the settings for the offset in pixels from the top and the left of the screen. If the left offset is set to -1 the live view will be automatically centered on the screen.

The live view display can be cropped if required by selecting fullscreen photobooth mode and holding down the Shift key and using the cursor left and right keys to increase or decrease the cropping. Cropping removes equal amounts from the left and right of the live view image when displaying live view images in landscape orientation and from the top and bottom when using portrait orientation. When adjusting the live view cropping a status message showing the amount of cropping is shown briefly in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.

The live view display can be disabled during printing by selecting the "Disable live view when printing" checkbox. Disabling the live view during printing and displaying a suitable message in the 'processing' screen is a good way of encouraging people to leave the booth after the photos have been taken. For example you could disable live view during printing, set the minimum duration before closing the 'processing' screen to 15 secs and display the message "Thank you! Your photos are being printed and will be ready outside shortly, please leave the booth now" by editing the 'processing screen (processing.jpg).

"Keyboard only (ignore mouse or touchscreen clicks)"	This is the default setting where the photobooth sequence can be started using the normal keyboard shortcuts e.g. F4
"Left click anywhere to start"	This setting allows a mouse or a touchscreen to start the photobooth sequence. The user simply needs to click the left mouse button or press anywhere on the display if using a touchscreen
"Left click to start, right click to toggle B&W mode"	This setting allows a standard mouse to be used to start the sequence (left click) or to toggle between B&W and color modes (right click)
"Left click top left to start"	This setting is designed for touchscreens and requires the user to click in the top left fifth of the screen to start the sequence. The ready.jpg image should be edited to show the user where to touch the screen to start the sequence.
"Left click top left to start color sequence, bottom left for B&W"	This setting is designed for touchscreens and requires the user to click in the top left fifth of the screen to start the sequence in color and the bottom left fifth to start it in black and white. The ready.jpg image should be edited to show the user which areas to touch to start the sequence.
"Touchscreen"	This setting allows up to 10 areas on a touchscreen to be given different actions (described in more detail below)

Up to 10 areas can be defined on a touchscreen to control different photo booth settings such as starting the sequence, switching between color and B&W, selecting the number of print copies etc. First select the "Touchscreen" option in the "Start options" dropdown list and then click on the "Settings..." button to display the touchscreen settings dialog:

Select the action using the dropdown lists on the left and the area on the touchscreen that activates the action using the corresponding "Left", "Top", "Right" and "Bottom" edit boxes. The values entered in the edit boxes are the screen coordinates in pixels with the origin in the top left corner. The example in the screenshot above defines three sensitive areas on the touchscreen:

Click on the "Show touchscreen areas" button to preview the positions of the touchscreen areas on the screen. The preview can be dismissed by clicking the left mouse button or by pressing the escape key.

An optional touchscreen keyboard can be displayed at the start or end of the photo booth shooting sequence to allow users to enter information such as their email address. This information is stored in the XML file saved after each shooting sequence. Use the dropdown list to select when the touchscreen keyboard should be displayed and the "Test keyboard..." button to test it. Please see the section describing the touchscreen keyboard for more details.

The output settings tab in the photobooth settings dialog is used to setup where the photos are saved and they are printed:

The output option can be set to "Print only", "Print and save JPEG copy" or "JPEG copy only". In normal use it is probably best to set this to "Print and save JPEG copy" so that each set of photos is printed and a JPEG copy is saved making it easier to print reprints later. The "JPEG copy only" option is useful for taking test shots and checking the layout without having to print them out each time.

Select "Ask for confirmation before printing" if you want to be able to decide whether to print the images or not. When this option is selected the print layout will be displayed on the screen with "Print" and "Cancel" buttons in the top left hand corner. Click on the "Print" button (or press the Enter key) to print the images or click on the "Cancel" button (or press the Esc key) to continue without printing.

Select the number of copies of each print layout to print. This setting can also be adjusted in full screen photobooth mode by typing Ctrl+1 through Ctrl+9 to select 1 to 9 copies respectively.

Click on the "Output Settings..." button below the output options to display the output settings dialog which allows you to configure the print preview and how JPEG copies of the printed output are handled:

The "Output:" drop down list allows you to specify whether photos are printed only, printed with a JPEG copy of the layout saved in "prints" sub folder, a JPEG copy of the layout is saved in the "prints" sub folder without printing or no output action is taken. (This is the same as the "Output:" drop down list displayed in the main photobooth settings dialog).

Select "Display print preview and wait for confirmation before printing" if you want to be able to decide whether to print the images or not (this is the same as the "Confirm before printing" checkbox displayed in the main photobooth settings dialog). When this option is selected the print layout will be displayed on the screen with "Print" and "Cancel" buttons in the top left hand corner. Users should click on the "Print" button (or press the Enter key) to print the images or click on the "Cancel" button (or press the Esc key) to continue without printing. If the touchscreen input mode is selected and touchscreen actions for confirm or cancel printing are defined the "Print" and "Cancel" buttons will not be displayed. The touchscreen sensitive areas can be displayed using the confirm_printing.jpg screen image.

If a confirm_printing.jpg screen image is in the photobooth images folder this will be used for the background to the print confirmation window to allow instructions or touchscreen buttons to be displayed.

If a printing_confirmed.jpg screen image is in the photobooth images folder this will be displayed if the user selects printing. This allows the processing.jpg screen to show a message like "Processing, please wait..." and the printing_confirmed.jpg to display a message like "Thank you, please leave the booth now. Your photos are being printed outside."

The print preview can be rotated by 90 degrees CW, 90 degrees CCW or 180 degrees using the rotation setting. The size and position of the print preview can be set print preview offset, width and height settings. If these are all set to zero the print preview will be sized to fill the window and will be centered on the screen. The print preview can be moved on the screen, e.g. to make space for the print confirmation buttons, using the left and top offset settings. For example to leave a space 200 pixels wide on the left of the screen set the print preview left offset to 200. If the print preview width and height settings are set to 0 the print preview will be resized to fill the rest of the screen. Set the print preview width and height settings to values other than 0 to specify the size of the print preview image.

Use the "Timeout (secs):" to specify a timeout for how long the print preview should be displayed (the default timeout is 300 secs). Set the timeout action dropdown list to the action that should be performed when the timeout occurs (the default setting is to cancel the print).

When the output option is set to "Print and save JPEG copy" or "JPEG copy only" the filename of the JPEG copy of the printed output can be specified using the "Filename for JPEG copy of output:" edit box. This value can use tokens to specify values which are determined at run time e.g. %d represents the date and %t the time. Please see the section on tokens for a list of available tokens. The JPEG copy of the printed output is an exact copy of what is sent to the printer and can be used for reprints after an event.

An optional second copy of the printed output can be saved in a different folder by selecting the "Copy JPEG to folder:" option. You can specify the folder this is saved in using the edit box to the right of the checkbox. If this is left empty the JPEG will be saved in a sub folder named "copy". You can also enter the full pathname of the folder where the images should be copied to (e.g. "C:\Print copies") or the name of a different sub folder (e.g. "Backup"). The folder name can also use tokens to specify values which are determined at run time. The second copy of the print output can also be cropped and resized before it is saved.

These settings control where images are stored on the computer's hard disk. The edit box displays the base folder for images and can be changed by typing directly into the edit box or by clicking on the "..." button and using the directory browser. If the Year, Month and Day checkboxes are not checked this will be the folder in which all images are stored.

Note: If the directory does not already exist it will be created when the photo is saved.

The Year, Month and Day checkbox control the automatic generation of subfolders according to the computer's date. The example image name shown at the bottom of the dialog shows how the various settings are combined. Select the "Flatten date" checkbox to combine the year, month and day into a single subfolder e.g. on November 30, 2010 with "Flatten date" unchecked images would be saved in "C:\Photobooth\2010\03\30" and when it is checked they would be saved in "C:\Photobooth\2010-03-30".

When the output option is set to "Print and JPEG copy" or "JPEG copy only" the JPEG copy of the print layout will be saved in the "Prints" subfolder e.g. "C:\Photobooth\2010\03\30\Prints" or "C:\Photobooth\2010-03-30\Prints" in the example above.

Select the "Enable color management of printed images" checkbox to color manage the printing of photos for more accurate colors. Then select suitable color profiles for the camera and printer. If your camera does not come with a color profile the standard sRGB color profile can be used instead.
IMPORTANT: Please disable color management in the printer driver when selecting color management in Webcam Photobooth otherwise the colors may be adjusted twice.

The print can have an optional background with a header and or footer image. When Webcam Photobooth prepares the image for printing it looks for the following files in the photobooth images folder:

background.jpg - optional image which is tiled to fill the background of the printed page

footer.jpg - optional image which is centered and placed at the bottom of the page

left.jpg - optional image which is centered vertically and placed on the left of the page between the header and footer

right.jpg - optional image which is centered vertically and placed on the right of the page between the header and footer

middle.jpg - optional image which is centered vertically and placed between each column of images

image_overlay.png - optional image which is overlays each photo and uses transparency information stored in the alpha channel

overlay.png - optional image which is overlays the page and uses transparency information stored in the alpha channel

The images are then arranged in a grid which fills the printable area of the page less any space taken up by a header or footer image. If the "Rotate image to maximize size" checkbox is selected the images are rotated through 90 degrees if this would give a larger image. e.g. if the printable area for the image within the grid is 80mm high and 50mm wide and the image was shot in landscape orientation it would be rotated by 90 degrees to better fill the printable area.

If the number of images matches the number of rows the images can be repeated in each column by selecting "Repeat images to fill empty columns". This is useful when printing strips of images on paper from a dye sublimation printer e.g. two copies of 4x1 strips on a sheet of 8x6 paper.

Images can be manually laid out by selecting the "Custom layout" option which allows the size, position and rotation of each image to be specified on the page. This allows complex layouts where the images can be different sizes and don't need to be arranged in a grid. It is also simpler to setup for many less complex layouts and often these can be achieved using a single background.jpg containing logos and other graphics.

After selecting "Custom layout" click on the "Settings..." button to display the dialog below:

Up to 10 images can be positioned using the custom layout. The number of the image to be printed is selected using the drop down list and the position of each image is specified in pixels on the page with the point (0, 0) in the top left corner. The size is also specified in pixels. If both the width and the height are specified the image will be sized to fill the width and height and any excess will be cropped. Alternatively either the height or the width can be set to 0 and the image will be resized to match the specified size without cropping.

The settings in the screen shot above show how a simple layout of two strips of four images printed on 6"x4" paper using a 300 dpi printer can be defined.

The page size in pixels can be displayed by first setting up the printer to the required page size and resolution and then pressing the "Print Info..." button. The layout can be previewed on computer screen by pressing the "Preview" button or printed by pressing the "Print Test Page" button. Hold the "Shift" key down and click on the "Print Test Page" button to print a printer calibration image with index marks showing the extent of the printable area.

The "Preset layouts..." button can be used to help design a number of different popular layouts using three or four photos. These include a double strip of three or four, a single strip of three or four, one large image with a row of three smaller images below and two rows of two images. Simply select the layout you want, adjust the page margins and image spacing and then press the OK button and the software will work out the settings for you.

When the custom layout option is used the number of rows and columns, image border, rotate and crop settings in the main photobooth settings dialog are not applicable and are grayed out.

If the "Crop image if required to fit the printable area" checkbox is selected the image will be cropped to fill the printable area within the grid. e.g. if the printable area within the grid is square equal portions of the left and right of the image will be cropped to make it square. Please note that this option is disabled when custom layout is selected.

Photos can be printed in color, pure black and white or toned black and white by selecting the appropriate option from the dropdown list headed "Print photos:". You can also switch between these options when the software is running in fullscreen photobooth mode by using the following keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+C to select color, Ctrl+B to select black and white, Ctrl+T to select toning.

When the "toned" option is selected you can specify the hue (i.e. the color of the toning) and the saturation (i.e. the strength of the toning). For sepia toning a value of around 200 for the hue and 40 for the saturation is a good starting point. The hue and saturation settings can also be adjusted when the software is running in fullscreen photobooth mode by using the following keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+cursor left/Ctrl+right to adjust the hue and Ctrl+cursor up/Ctrl+down to adjust the saturation. A status message showing the current settings is briefly displayed in the bottom right hand corner of the display when adjusting the hue and saturation in fullscreen photobooth mode.

The images can be sharpened by selecting the "Sharpen images" checkbox and specifying a sharpening amount in the range 0 to 100. The amount of sharpening required depends on personal taste, the camera and the printer. A value of around 75 is a good starting point.

Up to two captions can be printed by selecting the "captions" checkbox. Press the "Settings" button to display the dialog below to setup the captions:

Each caption can occupy more than one line if required and is left justified by default. Select the "Center justify" checkbox to center justify multiple lines. The size, font, color and rotation (in degrees clockwise) of the caption text can also be specified. The font size is calculated using the printer resolution and so a 72 point font should give text one inch high (one 'point' is 1/72 of an inch). The caption is printed in the selected font color with a transparent background. Tokens can be used in the caption text to insert values such as %d for the date and %t for the time the sequence started and {filename} for the filename used for the JPEG copy of the print layout.
Enter the position for the captions as offsets in mm from the top and the left of the page.

The easiest way to see how this all fits together is to run Webcam Photobooth and take some test shots. First setup the printer settings by selecting "Printer Setup..." from the File menu and then set basic photobooth settings using the setup dialog. Set the output mode to "JPEG copy only" then take a test sequence by pressing F5 to start fullscreen photobooth mode and F4 to start the picture taking sequence. This will take a sequence of images and save the layout in the prints subfolder where images are saved. Load this image into an image editor (or BreezeBrowser Pro) to view the layout. Then make any changes to the background.jpg, header.jpg, footer.jpg or overlay.png images and the photobooth settings and take more test shots until you're happy with the layout.

Tip: To save having to setup the printer preferences every time Webcam Photobooth is run you can go to the Windows Control Panel, select "Printers and Faxes" then right click on the printer to change its preferences.

With left.jpg down the left border, middle.jpg placed between the columns, right.jpg down the right border and footer.jpg at the bottom

Same layout as the first example but with no left.jpg or right.jpg images defining the left and right borders

Same layout as the previous example but with no middle.jpg image placed between the columns

A custom layout where the size and position of each photo is specified individually

If full screen photobooth mode a series of images is displayed to the user to show them what's happening and to promote the photobooth. These images are held in the same folder as the background, header and footer images and are as follows:

ready.jpg - image displayed when Webcam Photobooth is ready to take the next set of photos

1.jpg, 2.jpg etc. - image displayed before taking the first, second, third etc. images together with the text specified in the setting dialog

release.jpg - optional image displayed as the photo is taken (live view is hidden when this screen is displayed)

processing.jpg - image displayed after taking the photos while Webcam Photobooth formats and sends the page to the printer

welcome.jpg - image displayed when standby mode has been selected by pressing F6

confirm_printing.jpg - optional background image when displaying print confirmation screen

printing_confirmed.jpg - optional image displayed if user selects printing from the print confirmation screen

keyboard_input_ok.jpg - image displayed if user selects 'ok' from the on screen keyboard after the photos have been taken

keyboard_input_cancel.jpg - image displayed if user selects 'cancel' from the on screen keyboard after the photos have been taken

These images can be JPEGs containing any information you like and are displayed centered on the display with a black background. The images 1.jpg, 2.jpg etc are displayed together with the text defined in the settings dialog which can be used to give a count down timer before each picture. The text is displayed centered on the screen below the live view display, if applicable, as white text on a transparent background. The following tokens can be used in the text:

The images displayed to the user should be the same size or bigger than the computer's display. If the images are too small they will be expanded to fit with a black border and a small warning message will be displayed in the bottom left corner showing the image size and the display size.

It is also possible to display different screens depending on whether color, black and white or monochrome toned mode is selected and the number of print copies. This provides a way of giving feedback to the user when different settings have been selected.

The way it works is to check for a suffix after the filename for the appropriate screen image in the form <screen>_<b|c|t><1..9>.jpg where <screen> is the name of the screen image e.g. "ready", <b|c|t> is the color mode: "b" for black and white, "c" for color or "t" for monochrome toned and <1..9> is the number of print copies e.g. "1" is one copy is selected.

For example when the ready.jpg image is to be displayed, the color mode is set to black and white and the number of print copies is set to 2 the software will look for a suitable screen image in the following order:

ready_b2.jpg - i.e. "ready" + black and white + 2 copies selected or if this isn't found it looks for:

ready_b.jpg - i.e. "ready" + black and white or if this isn't found it looks for:

ready_2.jpg - i.e. "ready" + 2 copies selected or if this isn't found it looks for:

So to have screens to indicate the color mode and the number of print copies from 1 to 3 you need the following "ready" screens: ready_c1.jpg, ready_c2.jpg, ready_c3.jpg, ready_b1.jpg, ready_b2.jpg, ready_b3.jpg.

When a setting is changed, e.g. the color mode is set to black and white, the screen image is updated automatically to show the user the current status.

Movie files can be displayed on the screens by placing a movie file in QuickTime MOV format in the photobooth images folder and giving it the same name as the screen image. For example, to play a movie when the ready.jpg screen is displayed the movie file should be named ready.mov. Movie files can't overlap the live view display and so if live view is active the movie will be displayed in the area below the live view. Append "_loop" to the filename , e.g. ready_loop.mov, if you want the movie to automatically restart from the beginning and play continuously.

When a movie is displayed on the countdown screen (e.g. by naming it 1.mov) it replaces the normal countdown text and is only played once. Approximately 1 second before the end of the movie the taking.jpg screen is displayed and then the photo is taken when the movie reaches the end. There is a sample movie file called countdown.mov in the photobooth images subfolder where Webcam Photobooth is installed. To use this simply copy it to your photobooth images folder and rename it to 1.mov, 2.mov etc.
Important: The delay before taking each photo must be set to 2 secs or more otherwise the countdown movie will not be displayed.

Quick Time MOV files can be created using a Canon or Nikon DSLR or a video editor such as Adobe Premiere Elements or Apple's QuickTime Pro player. Most video editors can convert video files into different formats e.g. you can convert an AVI file to MOV format by loading the AVI video into the editor and saving it in MOV format.

Note: Apple's QuickTime Player needs to be installed on the computer for movie playback to work. This is a free download from Apple's website.

Audio prompts can be added by placing a WAV sound file in the photobooth images folder and giving it the same name as prompt screen. For example to play a sound when the photobooth is ready copy a WAV file named ready.wav into the photobooth images folder and it will be played when the ready.jpg image is displayed. You can also play an audio file when the touchscreen keyboard is displayed by naming it keyboard.wav and placing it in the photobooth images folder.
Note: There is no need to use a WAV file if you are already using a movie file (see above) because movie files can contain both pictures and sound.

The easiest way to see how this works is to try it out. To do this run Webcam Photobooth then press F5 to display the ready screen. Then press F4 to take the pictures and print them.

At startup: "ready.jpg" image displayed on screen and "ready.wav" played once (if present)

Sequence started: "1.jpg" image displayed on screen together with countdown text and "1.wav" played once (if present)

Approx 1 sec before taking picture #1: "taking.jpg" image displayed on screen and "taking.wav" played once (if present)

After taking picture #1: preview image displayed for the required number of seconds (if enabled in the settings) then "2.jpg" image displayed on screen together with countdown text and "2.wav" played once (if present)

Approx 1 sec before taking picture #2: "taking.jpg" image displayed on screen and "taking.wav" played once (if present)

After taking picture #2: preview image displayed for the required number of seconds (if enabled in the settings) then "3.jpg" image displayed on screen together with countdown text and "3.wav" played once (if present)

Approx 1 sec before taking picture #3: "taking.jpg" image displayed on screen and "taking.wav" played once (if present)

After taking picture #3: preview image displayed for the required number of seconds (if enabled in the settings) then "4.jpg" image displayed on screen together with countdown text and "4.wav" played once (if present)

Approx 1 sec before taking picture #4: "taking.jpg" image displayed on screen and "taking.wav" played once (if present)

After taking picture #4: preview image displayed for the required number of seconds (if enabled in the settings) then "processing.jpg" image displayed on screen and "processing.wav" played once (if present). During this time the images are formatted ready for output and either saved to file or sent to the printer queue. When this has finished the screen goes back to the "ready.jpg" image and the ready.wav sound file is played ready for the next sequence.

It is also possible to display different screens depending on whether color, black and white or monochrome toned mode is selected and the number of print copies. This makes it possible to show the user which settings have been selected and could be used as part of a touchscreen menu system. The way it works is to check for a suffix after the filename for the appropriate screen image in the form <screen>_<b|c|t><1..9>.jpg where <screen> is the name of the screen image e.g. "ready", <b|c|t> is the color mode: "b" for black and white, "c" for color or "t" for monochrome toned and <1..9> is the number of print copies e.g. "1" is one copy is selected.

ready_b2.jpg - i.e. "ready" + black and white + 2 copies selected or if this isn't found it looks for:

ready_b.jpg - i.e. "ready" + black and white or if this isn't found it looks for:

ready_2.jpg - i.e. "ready" + 2 copies selected or if this isn't found it looks for:

When a setting is changed, e.g. the color mode is set to black and white, the screen image is updated automatically to show the user the current status.

External commands can be used to customize the way the photobooth works e.g. by emailing images or turning lights on and off. There are two different ways external commands can be run when shooting in full screen photobooth mode:

This allows a command to be run each time the photobooth screen changes during the photobooth shooting sequence. The full pathname of the screen image is passed as a command line argument to the command e.g. C:\Program Files\BreezeSys\Webcam Photobooth\PhotoboothImages\ready.jpg. To enable this two values need to be stored in the Windows registry: PhotoboothStatusCmdEnable and PhotoboothStatusCmd (see below for details).

This allows a command to be run after the photobooth output has been saved or printed and the XML summary file has been written. The full pathname of the XML summary file is passed as a command line argument to the command. To enable this two values need to be stored in the Windows registry: PhotoboothStatusCmdEnable and PhotoboothStatusCmdXML (see below for details).

To enable the photobooth screen change or XML summary file commands the following REG_DWORD value in the Windows registry should be set to 1:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BreezeSystems\WebcamPhotobooth\101\PhotoboothStatusCmdEnable

The photobooth screen change command is defined using the following REG_SZ value:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BreezeSystems\WebcamPhotobooth\101\PhotoboothStatusCmd

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BreezeSystems\WebcamPhotobooth\101\PhotoboothStatusCmdXML

Enter an empty string or delete the registry value for PhotoboothStatusCmd or PhotoboothStatusCmdXML if you want to run one command but not the other. The values can be edited using the Windows regedit utility or by creating a registry file like the one below, giving it a .reg file extension and then double clicking on the file in Windows Explorer to copy the settings to the registry:

"PhotoboothStatusCmd"="C:\\Program Files\\BreezeSys\\Webcam Photobooth\\PhotoboothImages\\status.exe"

"PhotoboothStatusCmdXML"="C:\\Program Files\\BreezeSys\\Webcam Photobooth\\PhotoboothImages\\statusXML.exe"
