Understanding the Interface
The photobooth interface is organized into four main areas, each designed for a specific part of your workflow:
Control Center
Left sidebar with Camera and Photobooth tabs. Switch between them to connect your camera or configure session settings.
Guest Display
Center top area showing the live camera feed. Includes view controls and an "Open on Second Screen" button to send the feed to a secondary monitor.
Session Gallery
Center area below the live view. Shows the current session's captured photos as thumbnails, with a Publish button to upload and share.
Operator Interface
Bottom bar with a countdown timer, frame counter, shutter button, and photobooth auto/pause controls for running the session.

How Photos Are Stored
The photobooth uses a simple folder system to keep your photos organized. You select a working folder when setting up, and the program automatically creates numbered subfolders for each session.
Folder Structure
How the Session System Works
Think of a working folder as the event location — like "Sarah's Wedding" or "Company Party". All photos from that event go in this one folder. Within that folder, each session represents a group that comes through the photobooth — in the order they arrive. Session 001 is the first group, Session 002 is the second group, and so on. The .ptb file quietly keeps track of everything in the background.
