Uploading photos to the user's personal Facebook page
Users can upload photos to their personal Facebook page directly from the photo booth if it has an
internet connection and either a touchscreen or a keyboard to enter their Facebook login information.
The simplest way to set this up is to use the photobooth setup wizard and then adjust the settings if
required. After running the photobooth setup wizard the Facebook settings can editing using the dialog
below. This dialog can be opened by opening the "Photobooth Settings" dialog (File->Photobooth
Settings... or Ctrl+S) then opening the "Output Settings" dialog clicking on the "Settings..." button to the
right of the output options and then clicking on the Facebook upload "Settings..." button.
The album name and album description settings specify the name and description of the album that
will be created on the user's Facebook page. The photo description setting specifies the description
that is added to the photo when it is uploaded to the user's Facebook album. Tokens for the date and
time can be included in these fields and will be replaced with the date or time the photos were taken
when they are uploaded e.g.
%L will be replaced with the long date representation for your computer's locale e.g. Wednesday,
January 08, 2014
%l will be replaced with the long date and time representation for your computer's locale e.g.
Wednesday, January 08, 2014 20:23:56
Please see the tokens section for a list of available tokens.
The photo that is uploaded to the user's Facebook page is based on the JPEG copy of the printed
output. You can crop, resize and rotate the image before uploading it to Facebook.
To crop the image first check the "Crop image:" checkbox and then specify the left offset and top
offset in pixels for the top left corner of the cropped image. Then specify the width and height of the
image in pixels. For example if the photobooth is setup to print a double strip of 4 images on 6"x4"
paper you may wish to crop the image uploaded to Facebook so that only a single strip is sent. If the
printer is set to a resolution of 300 dpi the image will be 1200 pixels wide (4" x 300 dpi) by 1800 pixles
high (6" x 300 DPI) and so to crop it into a single strip you need to set left=0, top=0, width=600 and
