Did you know Santa’s elves are enthusiastic users of Breeze Hotfolder? We know Santa’s especially busy, because they needed several more copies this year.
The latest Breeze tutorial takes you through adding seasonal overlays and backgrounds to your prints when you shoot tethered this holiday season. This tutorial explains how to
add overlay and/or background to the photos before printing
automatically switch between portrait and landscape print layouts
choose from automatic printing or saving print layouts to print later
More fluid screen transitions with optional fading between overlays
Ability to dynamically select print and GIF backgrounds and overlays e.g. in response to survey data
