with credits to @reuterbal for the original development of this software and to @andyboeh, @tammtimmer, @t0mmo for additional features. As of 2022-07-31
, there has not been any changes since 3 years and I therefore regard it as abandoned.
A flexible Photobooth software.
It supports many different camera models, the appearance can be adapted to your likings, and it runs on many different hardware setups.
This is a Python application to build your own photobooth.

The templates are defined in XML. The XML file describes size&color of the background. On top each XML tag adds an element on top of the others:
Image
can be PNG (incl transparency if required) or JPG etc and should be the same size like defined in the background. Can be used for a picture background or final overlay on top of photos.Photo
refers to a shot taken by the camera. Positioning, resizing, rotation are supported currently. Make sure shots are numbered correctly!Currently, three examples are provided:
standard_2x2.xml
mimics the current behaviour of composing 2x2 photos on a white back.
example.xml
is a showcase for current capabilities (sorry for my limited design skills). Curious to see what others come up with!
photostrips.xml
is another showcase for what's possible
To test & develop further templates the templating can be called directly from the CLI:
python -m photobooth.template.FancyTemplate -t .\supplementals\templates\example.xml
-h
provides a short help

The slideshow presents images already taken in a random order after a set idle time.
A selection of working builds are documented in this repo. Use the one closest to your setting and start from there. The rest is up to you ;)
Default settings are stored in photobooth/defaults.cfg
and can either be changed in the graphical user interface or by creating a file ./photobooth.cfg
in the top folder and overwriting your settings there.
The software design is very modular. Feel free to add new postprocessing components, a GUI based on some other library, etc.
Have a look at LOCALE.
I appreciate any feedback or bug reports.
Please submit them via the Issue tracker and always include your photobooth.log
file (is created automatically in the top folder) and a description of your hardware and software setup.
I am also happy to hear any success stories! Feel free to submit them here.
