How do I add email or SMS/MMS sharing to an existing design?

March 20, 2023 Sue Breeze

I was asked at PBX how to add sharing options to an existing Breeze DSLR Remote Pro event or profile.

Today’s post explains how to add email and SMS/MMS sharing to existing designs in Booth (DSLR+Windows) aka DSLR Remote Pro 3.18.2.1

Add email and text options to Webcam Photobooth  events in the same way.

Starting from scratch? Use the Photobooth Setup Wizard instead of these instructions.

Working with profiles? Remember to load the profile before you start, and save the updated profile when you finish.

Tell DSLR Remote Pro to share photos by email and/or text

Start DSLR Remote Pro and if necessary load your design or profile.

Before sending emails from Breeze  you need to set up the email server settings. You only need to do this the first time you send emails from the booth. How to add your email account details.

Check email sharing on the Output screen

This tells the program that you want to offer guests the option to share by email.

Create or update a sharing screen

Check whether you already have a sharing screen share.jpg in your PhotoboothImages folder.

  • If there is no share.jpg in in the PhotoboothImages folder use an image editor to create one.

The new screen graphic should be the same size in pixels as the other screens. Include buttons for your sharing options and to exit the screen.

  • If you already have a sharing screen,add an email button to share.jpg

NB: You can copy the sharing icons we provide for the setup wizard, or use your own png images

Icons used by the setup wizard can be found at C:\Users\…\Documents\Breeze Systems\DSLR Remote Pro\wizard. Copy these or use your own png image. (Image shows icons used by Tradewind White)

Add touch screen actions to the sharing screen

Open the touch screen editor

Opening the touch screen editor (DSLR Remote Pro 3.15.5)
  • Right click and select Share: share.jpg screen . This displays your share.jpg graphic,  the area of the screen covered by the image, and any actions which have already been already set up.
Adding touch screen actions which match the sharing screen graphic (Breeze DSLR Remote Pro 3.15.5)
  • Right click on an unused part of the screen
  • Add the action Sharing: Email photos.
  • Drag and drop this action to cover your email button (1)
  • If you don’t already have a close action, add a second action Sharing: Close sharing screen
  • Drag and drop the Close action  over your close button (2)
  • If these buttons overlay the image area, move/resize the image to separate them (3)
  • Right click once more to exit the touch screen editor, saving your changes.

Working with profiles: remember to save the updated profile before you leave.  Troubleshooting profiles
