Sparkbooth Photo Booth Software News
Last week Facebook made a change to their sign in process that affected Sparkbooth's ability to upload photos to Facebook. Sparkbooth, Sparkbooth Photo Kiosk, and Sparkbooth DSLR have been updated to handle this change. Please update if you use the Facebook uploaders in any of those applications.
You asked for it and we listened. We're kicking off a crowdsource campaign and pre-selling licenses at $175 for our new Sparkbooth DSLR version - the next hot product in our line of photo booth software.
With the current beta, Sparkbooth DSLR connects to your camera via USB cable. Sparkbooth DSLR automatically connects to display LiveView video and takes photos from the camera. Early access licenses include activations on up to 3 computers, allows for commercial usage, unlocks commercial/premium features and works with the beta and released versions. View the rest of the new features here.
Join the campaign and be the first to get the new Sparkbooth software before release.

Sparkbooth 3.8.9 update is now available. This update allows you always send photos into the Send It Later queue regardless of the selected uploader. So you can select the one of the "Guest" uploaders to allow guests to post photos to their own Facebook or Twitter accounts. Then later after the event, you can upload all the queued photos to your Facebook page or other location.
To use this feature:
- Go to Sparkbooth Settings
- Go to Uploading and select "Guest Upload Chooser", "Guest Facebook", or "Guest Twitter"
- Check the option at the bottom of to "Queue into Send It Later"
Now as photos are taken, guests will be given the option to upload to their Facebook or Twitter account, and the photo will be queued in "Send It Later". After the event, you can go to the "Send It Later" upload settings and upload photo to a Facebook page or other upload location.
