Wow June was an amazing month for photo booths this year! Known as the #1 month for weddings it looks like 2014 will be known as the #1 month for software in our industry. We saw major releases from Breeze and Social Booth along with multiple incremental changes from Photoboof and dslrBooth Pro. Notably there was no new releases from Darkroom Booth, but I've been told something is in the works.
There's a lot to cover, let's get to it…
Breeze DSLR Remote Pro v3.0
www.breezesys.com – Breeze has officially released version 3 of their very popular booth software DSLR Remote Pro. It is a culmination of fixes and tweaks to the public betas released over the past couple of months. Some major features of version 3 include a print layout editor. They also now have a page where there are a number of free templates available for download (the Design Shop also is featured at the bottom of the page).
Summary of what's new in DSLR Remote Pro for Windows 3.0:

Social Booth v2
www.photoboothsolutions.com/socialbooth – Not to be out done Photo Booth Solutions released version 2 of their popular software Social Booth. The released features improved DSLR functionality, customizable screens, animated GIFs, new filters and more. Also making its first appearance in v2 is support for multiple layouts and easy on screen selection. Additionally thumbnails are now displayed on screen as a session progresses.
Improvements to the event management section now allow you to load up a booth with multiple event profiles and select the one you want when starting up the booth.
One slick thing with the Social Booth animated GIFs is the ability to add a branded overlay to them (see example below).
The release has been very well received by users and looks to be another winner by PBS.

An update to Photoboof released on August 1, 2012 adds support for Facebook uploading. The author of the application has added two methods of Facebook uploading. 1.) You can configure all sessions to upload to a single account 2) You can let users share to their account from the booth. More details on this new functionality can be read on their website here.
Additional changes in this release include: the fixing of an issue with some cameras when in the vertical position, the addition of the computer name in emails sent. The latter is for those with multiple booths in the field.
If you have upgraded to this latest release please let us know your thoughts on the new functionality.
