Sparkbooth Photo Booth Software News

We're thrilled to announce a brand new feature in Sparkbooth that enhances the way you track your photo booth sessions and prints — the Counter Screen Overlay! This new feature is exclusively available in the Sparkbooth 7.2 Beta, and it makes keeping tabs on your sessions, prints, and uploads easier than ever.

We’ve revamped the Counter Dialog UI to ensure all the crucial information is always at your fingertips. Here’s what’s new:

📊 Counters in the Lower Left Corner

No need to keep the counter dialog open while running your booth. With the new overlay feature, you can now display all your counters directly on the screen in the lower-left corner. This keeps your session information visible without disrupting the photo-taking experience.

👁️ Easy Toggle with the Display Button

Want to show or hide the overlay? We've added an eye icon button next to each counter in the Counter Dialog. Just click the eye icon to quickly toggle the display of each counter. Customize which counters are visible on the overlay based on what matters most to you during your events.

🖥️ Simplified Counter Dialog UI

We’ve streamlined the Counter Dialog interface to make it cleaner and more user-friendly. You can easily reset counters, see your print limits, and track session numbers with just a glance. No more clutter — just the essential info when you need it.

🚀 Why You'll Love This Update

• Stay Informed: Always know how many sessions you've run, prints you've completed, and uploads processed — right on your screen.
• Flexibility: Choose which counters you want to see and hide the ones you don’t need.
• Efficiency: Spend less time clicking through menus and more time creating memorable moments for your guests.

🔧 How to Use It

1. Upgrade to Sparkbooth 7.2 Beta to access this feature.
2. Open the Counters Dialog.
3. Next to each counter, you'll see an eye icon.
4. Click the eye icon to toggle visibility for that specific counter.
5. When enabled, the counter will display in the lower-left corner of the screen.

This enhancement helps keep your photo booth sessions running smoothly while giving you full control of your counters at a glance. We can't wait to see how this feature helps streamline your events!
