photobooth\n\n[![Buy me a coffee](https://www.buymeacoffee.com/assets/img/custom_images/black_img.png)](https://www.buymeacoffee.com/reuterbal)\n\nA flexible Photobooth software.\n\nIt supports many different camera models, the appearance can be adapted to your likings, and it runs on many different hardware setups.\n\n## Description\nThis is a Python application to build your own photobooth.\n\n### Features\n* Capture a single or multiple pictures and assemble them in an m-by-n grid layout\n* Live preview during countdown\n* Store assembled pictures (and optionally the individual shots)\n* Printing of captured pictures (via Qt printing module or pycups)\n* Highly customizable via settings menu inside the graphical user interface\n* Custom background for assembled pictures\n* Ability to skip single pictures in the m-by-n grid (e.g., to include a logo in the background image)\n* Support for external buttons and lamps via GPIO interface\n* Rudimentary WebDAV upload functionality (saves pictures to WebDAV storage) and mailer feature (mails pictures to a fixed email address)\n* Theming support using [Qt stylesheets](https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/stylesheet-syntax.html)\n\n### Screenshots\nScreenshots produced using `CameraDummy` that produces unicolor images.\n\n#### Theme _pastel_\n\u003cimg alt=\"Idle

[gPhoto2](http://www.gphoto.org/), [OpenCV](https://opencv.org/),  [Raspberry Pi camera module](https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/getting-started-with-picamera)\n* Tested on Standard x86 hardware and [Raspberry Pi](https://raspberrypi.org/) models 1B+, 2B, 3B, and 3B+\n* Flexible, modular design: Easy to add features or customize the appearance\n* Multi-threaded for responsive GUI and fast processing\n* Based on [Python 3](https://www.python.org/), [Pillow](https://pillow.readthedocs.io), and [Qt5](https://www.qt.io/developers/)\n\n### History\nI started this project for my own wedding in 2015. \nSee [Version 0.1](https://github.com/reuterbal/photobooth/tree/v0.1) for the original version.\nGithub user [hackerb9](https://github.com/hackerb9/photobooth) forked this version and added a print functionality.\nHowever, I was not happy with the original software design and the limited options provided by the previously used [pygame](https://www.pygame.org) GUI library and thus abandoned the original version.\nSince then it underwent a complete rewrite, with vastly improved performance and a much more modular and mature software design.\n\n## Installation and usage\n\n### Hardware requirements\n* Some computer/SoC that is able to run Python 3.5+ as well as any of the supported camera libraries\n* Camera supported by gPhoto 2 (see [compatibility list](http://gphoto.org/proj/libgphoto2/support.php)), OpenCV (e.g., most standard webcams), or a Raspberry Pi Camera Module.\n* Optional: External buttons and lamps (in combination with gpiozero-compatible hardware)\n\n### Installing and running the photobooth\n\nSee [installation instructions](INSTALL.md).\n\n## Configuration and modifications\nDefault settings are stored in [`defaults.cfg`](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.\n\nThe software design is very modular.\nFeel free to add new postprocessing components, a GUI based on some other library, etc.\n\n## Feedback and bugs\nI appreciate any feedback or bug reports.\nPlease submit them via the [Issue tracker](https://github.com/reuterbal/photobooth/issues/new?template=bug_report.md) and always include your `photobooth.log` file (is created automatically in the top folder) and a description of your hardware and software setup.\n\nI am also happy to hear any success stories! Feel free to [submit them here](https://github.com/reuterbal/photobooth/issues/new?template=success-story.md).\n\nIf you find this application useful, please consider [buying me a coffee](https://www.buymeacoffee.com/reuterbal).\n\n\n## License\nI provide this code under AGPL v3.
