Five Stars indeed because it is absolutely the best photo booth software. I am getting ready to start my photo booth business soon. I did some online research and read many reviews about photo booth software. I narrowed it down to a handful of five of the leading brand and downloaded their trial version. For the next thirty days, which is what the trial version allows, I tested each one and considered its features, ease of use, layout, versatility, design, price, etc. Darkroom Booth 2 easily came out on top. I purchased it and have been testing for over two months now. I want to be familiar with all aspects of the software before I start my business. FYI, I am using DRB2 on a Lenovo T420 laptop with WIN 10 Pro. With DRB2, I’ve easily made from scratch new print templates with a variety of backgrounds, graphics, colors, logos, fonts, and so forth. I had a similar experience with making new booth screens. Adding sound clips, voices, music, buttons for touchscreen, etc was done with relative ease. I can fully customize booth screens and print templates. Test prints looked good too. As expected, I had to make minor alignment adjustments in the printer software to properly fit the print on 4×6 media. This took some trial and error but once it’s set, you’re good to go. For self-activated booth sessions, the touchscreen buttons on a booth screen and a USB button connected to my computer both worked responsively and flawlessly. With my Canon DSLR camera, I am able to use the live view feature, which I highly recommend. I did encounter an problem with live view disappearing from the booth screen that I couldn’t figure out. I contacted support via email and received a response from Amy that same day. The first remedy did not fix the problem so I sent another email. Again, Amy responded quickly and the issue was fixed. There are many other features on DRB2 that I haven’t explored yet such as green screen, video, activating lighting, and more. All in all, I know I’d made the right decision to go with DRB2 and I am confident it will work as expected when at my client’s venue.
