How to Customize your Final Photo in the Photo Layout tab

Hi Lovely Owners,

Today you will learn how to customize your final photo in a quick, simple way - inside the software!
Ready? Let's go.

First, you need to select a preset.
You can either Add a new preset (and start from scratch) You can assist with this tutorial: Creating a Preset 
or Duplicate one of the existing presets, and just change its settings (recommended)

I will duplicate the "Birthday1" and name it "My_Preset". Then, I will go to the Photo Layout tab.

Element list

In the Photo Layout tab, we have the elements listed on the left side. These are all the separate elements that our final photo includes.

Elements' order

The list order works as a layering system.
When an element is at the top of the list, it means it's in the back of the photo and might be covered by other elements.
If it's at the bottom of the list, it's in the front.

You can simply change the order by dragging & dropping the elements and see how it affects the final photo:

Changing the Overlay

You can change the existing overlay by replacing the image. Click on the browse "..." button next to the Overlay's element, and select a different image (from your local PC)

All the overlays that we provide are located in C:\MirrorMeBooth\Overlays
(You can also create your own custom overlay. The recommended format is PNG, the size for a 4x6 photo is 1200*1800 pixels.) here is an article that can assist:

• How to design an overlay using the existing PSD files and from scratch

*Make sure the new overlay is in the same layout (here we are using 1 vertical photo)

Deleting elements 

You can select the element you want to delete and click on the "Delete" button on your keyboard. It will be removed. For example, I will delete the Foto Master's Logo (at the bottom)

 

Adding a Logo/image

It can't be a customized preset without your business logo! (what's a better way of marketing than having your logo on each guest's photo?)
You can simply add any image file (such as your logo) by clicking on the "Add Photo" icon.
The recommended format is PNG, but it can be JPEG as well.

Adding and Editing Text

You can add text to your final photo by clicking on the "Add Text" button - 
If you wish to edit the font, size, and color, you can click on the "..." button next to the element and change it in the menu.

Adjusting the elements 

 When you're done with importing all of the elements you want, you can start rearranging them according to your liking! Change the size, location, and rotation of each element and create a fun, customized final-photo! 

Don't forget to Save!

You're all set!
