v5.4.2 August 24, 2026 Latest Read the blog post

LumaBooth 5.4.2 focuses on USB direct printing: you can now choose the exact print size your loaded ribbon supports, get full-bleed prints that use the whole sheet, and see clearer, translated printing options throughout Print setup.

Printing

  • Added the ability to choose the print size for the ribbon you have loaded (5x7, 6x8, 6x6, 5x5, 6x9, 4.5x6 and more) instead of having the size guessed from your template shape, with the cut options that belong to each size.
  • Multi-up sizes now fill the whole sheet, so choosing one copy on a 2-up size prints two photos on one sheet rather than wasting half of it.
  • The print button and the guest copies screen now show how many prints a press will produce, so you always know what is coming out of the printer.
  • Resolved an issue where a print could be composed at a smaller size than the loaded ribbon, leaving white borders and wasting the sheet.
  • Print sizes your printer's firmware cannot handle are no longer offered, so you never pick a size that dead-ends at a firmware message.
  • Corrected the "Cut into 2x6 strips" switch so it only appears when the paper actually in the printer can be strip-cut.
  • The printed test page now carries the proper LumaBooth branding and logo.

Printer Support

  • Added support for the SwiftFoto KSF-10R, which previously reported as an unsupported printer when connected.
  • HiTi prints on older ribbon batches now show accurate colors, removing the warm cast those ribbons produced.
  • Improved the messages shown when a HiTi printer refuses a job: you now get plain-language guidance instead of a technical code.

Print Setup

  • Redesigned the paper size picker in the photo layout editor as a large, easy-to-tap list that includes every size your connected printer supports, sorted small to large.
  • In landscape, the Alignment card now sits under Select print method so the two columns are balanced.
  • Rounded the corners of the "Printing…" overlay to match the rest of Print setup.
  • The plus and minus buttons on the per event and per session limit rows now line up with the number and the "prints" label beside them.

Languages

  • The USB Direct Printing settings are now translated into German, Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese, and longer size names wrap instead of being cut off.
v5.4.1 August 20, 2026 Read the blog post

This release is all about HiTi printing over USB Direct: better color, sharper prints, wider printer support, and clear messages when your printer needs attention.

Printing

  • HiTi prints now use the printer's own color profile, so colors match what HiTi's official driver produces instead of running warm.
  • Prints are sharpened the way HiTi's own driver sharpens them, so photos come off the printer noticeably crisper.
  • Portrait photos printed on landscape paper are sharpened correctly, with no streaking.
  • The HiTi P520L now works over USB Direct Printing, alongside the P525L.

Printer Messages

  • When a HiTi printer stops mid-print, LumaBooth tells you what is wrong, whether it is a paper jam, an empty ribbon or an open cover, and what to do about it, instead of showing a numbered error code.
  • USB printing problems now read in plain language instead of raw error codes, so you know whether to enable the driver, reconnect the cable or check the printer.
v5.4 August 10, 2026 Read the blog post

v5.3 July 26, 2026 Read the blog post

Print straight from your iPad. Connect a DNP, Citizen, or HiTi photo printer with a single USB-C cable and start printing. No AirPrint, no print server, no drivers to install. (Requires an iPad with an M-series chip, M1 or later, running iPadOS 16 or later.)

Printing

  • Print directly to a supported dye-sub printer over USB. Plug in the cable, pick USB Direct Printing in Print Setup, and your prints come out. Nothing to install.
  • Supports DNP and Citizen printers: DS-RX1, DS40, DS80, DS620, DS820A, DS820DX, and QW410.
  • Supports the HiTi P525L, with full color management so skin tones stay warm and true.
  • Cut 4×6 prints into two 2×6 strips. Turn on "Cut into 2×6 strips" and classic photo strips come off the printer ready to hand out. The option appears only on printers and media that can actually do it.
  • See how much media is left. Your remaining print count shows right in Print Setup, so a ribbon never runs out mid-event by surprise.
  • Printer messages now say what is actually wrong, in plain language. "The printer cover is open" instead of a mystery error.
  • Prints recover from brief connection hiccups on their own instead of failing.

Print Setup

  • The Print Setup screen is clearer, with better spacing and print method options that are easy to tap on every device.
  • Printer status is easier to read at a glance, so you know your printer is ready before guests line up.
  • Setup guidance walks you through connecting a printer directly the first time.

v4.6 September 11, 2025 Read the blog post

This release strengthens LumaBooth's security and reliability, introduces deeper iOS Guided Access integration for kiosk deployments, and delivers a range of camera, printing, and interface improvements based on customer feedback.

Security & Lock Screen

  • Added iOS Guided Access integration with the lock button, providing a guided setup flow to help operators securely lock down the app at events
  • Improved PIN code security with a 3-second delay after each incorrect attempt and a lockout after 5 failed tries, preventing rapid guessing
  • Increased the maximum PIN code length to 10 digits for stronger access control
  • Resolved an issue where settings were incorrectly saved when pressing the lock button without entering the settings screens
  • The app now hides the number of PIN digits during unlock, preventing guests from guessing the code length

Event & Session Management

  • The app now reopens the last active event in a locked state after a restart or crash, allowing events to resume seamlessly without exposing settings to guests
  • Resolved an issue where the app could freeze on the welcome screen between sessions
  • Improved compatibility when opening events created in dslrBooth or fotoShare Cloud, preventing crashes caused by unexpected or newer settings formats

Cloud & Connectivity

  • Fixed an issue where saving event settings to Firebase could delete configuration data set by other apps sharing the same account, such as dslrBooth or the fotoshare.co web editor
  • Resolved an issue where a changed fotoshare Cloud password would cause the app to repeatedly retry login requests, triggering an account lockout
  • Updated the login and account API calls for improved compatibility with the latest fotoshare Cloud backend

Camera & Capture

  • Added a live view preview in the camera setup screen so operators can see and apply rotation settings in real time before starting a session
  • Resolved an issue where an erroneous "RAW only" error message appeared when shooting with dual memory cards (JPG on one card, RAW on another), even though the image was captured correctly
  • Filter selection now displays the full preview image correctly when the device is in portrait orientation and the captured photo is landscape, eliminating the zoomed and blurry appearance

Printing

  • Improved AirPrint multi-copy printing compatibility to prevent printers from hanging when additional copies are requested
  • Updated print limit messages to clearly communicate when the per-image copy limit has been reached, rather than showing a generic error

Video & Overlays

  • Updated the 360/Slo-mo mode icon and labels to better reflect the available video capture options
  • Fixed an issue where the note text in a custom animated overlay did not update correctly when the device orientation or video side changed

Interface & Design

  • Aligned text, buttons, and input fields across the survey and photo info panels for a more consistent editing experience
  • Fixed a visual artifact on macOS where a black line appeared at the bottom of the settings screen header
  • Resolved an issue on macOS where an alert message appeared in the wrong location after cancelling out of the survey response sharing flow
  • Fixed a display issue where invalid print dimensions showed incorrect values in the settings interface
  • Removed Twitter from the sharing options, as it is no longer supported
v4.5.3 June 26, 2025 Read the blog post

This release brings a collection of improvements to the print layout editor, text editing, and photo sharing, along with fixes for reliability issues reported by customers.

Print Layout

  • Improved the print settings panel with clearer labeling and a more intuitive layout, including a dedicated "Printing" section with quick access to printer configuration
  • Fixed an issue where the layout list could be cut off on the right side when running in fullscreen mode on Mac
  • Added a convenient "Configure printers" link directly from the print layout view

Text & Layer Editing

  • Text changes now update instantly on the canvas as you type, eliminating confusion when edits appeared not to apply
  • Fixed an issue where newly imported images (such as a company logo) were not placed above existing layers as expected

Photo Sharing & Upload

  • Resolved an upload error that prevented some users from sharing photos via FotoShare

Photos App Integration

  • Fixed an issue where an empty "Print" album was being created in the Photos app at the start of each new session
