How to DIY Your Very Own Photo Booth
The fury and fun around photo booths really took off around the time of our wedding in the summer of 2011. We had quite a few friends rent traditional photo booths or had their photographers creating their own version at their receptions for all of their guests. Ever since, I've been fascinated with the idea of simply creating one for use in our own home whenever we wanted. And with the first birthday of our daughter approaching, I finalized everything I needed for the task!
Yep, that's right, I DIYed my own photo booth! Trust me, it's really quite simple, and if you're a super geek you might just have all of the parts lying around your house ready to go! And even if you don't have spare parts, you can "borrow" your own components to use for your special day!
STEPS to create your photo booth:
1) Find a monitor, CPU, keyboard and mouse to use for your photo booth. Connect everything and install PSRemote.
2) Design your custom photo booth screens! Take note of the dimensions of your screen, and create a series of JPGs in your graphics editing program for the following screens:
ready.jpg - this is your "waiting for the next person" screen, so customize it with a friendly greeting and the instructions on what to do next!
1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, 4.jpg - These are your countdown images that go along with the "active countdown timer." 1.jpg is displayed during the countdown before taking the first picture, 2.jpg is displayed before taking the second picture etc.
taking.jpg - this is displayed a couple of seconds before taking each picture
release.jpg - optional image displayed when the instruction to take the picture is sent to the camera approximately 1 second before the picture is actually taken. The live view on most cameras will freeze just before the camera takes the picture and this can confuse some users. To avoid this, the software will automatically hide the live view display if a release.jpg image is defined.
processing.jpg - this is displayed after the last picture has been taken while the images are being prepared for printing. This screen could display a message like "All finished! Please collect your prints outside."
When the prints have been formatted and sent to the printer the ready.jpg image is displayed again.
Upload these images to your photo booth computer.
3) Find a place to position your camera. Connect the camera to the USB port on the computer and make sure it is in playback mode. Turn the camera on!
4) Open up PSRemote and click on "File -> photo booth Settings." Go ahead and select all of the options that you'd like for your photo booth.
5) TAKE YOUR FIRST PHOTOS! Check and adjust all the settings until you like the flow of everything!
6) If you want a custom logo to be printed on your photos… here's what you need to do! Select "save as JPG" from the Output options. Then, use that print example file as your template for designing your logo. Design it in your editing program, then erase everything but the logo! Save it as "background.jpg" and make sure PSRemote knows where to find it in the settings box. Now, when your photos print, they'll have this wonderful logo on them as well!
Now for our party set-up,wedding invitations cheap I went ahead and customized all of the screens with special messages and also designed a logo for the printouts. All of this was done in about 30 minutes using Photoshop and made the experience that much better!

After working with a hairstylist and they want pictures do you give them large photos with your logo?
Hi I worked with a hairstylist for the first time on the weekend for a photo shoot. She would like copies of the images. Do i give her ones with my logo on it or blank, and what about the size, should I shrink them before I give them to her or give her strict rules of when and how to use them? Please help
I knew they wanted copies. I just didn't know what type of file to give them. With or without logo, sizes etc.
