This release brings broader Canon camera reliability, smoother touch interaction in the editors, refined Welcome screen controls, and a long list of fixes for sharing, printing, AI portraits, and event migration.

Camera Support

• Added a friendly on-screen warning when a Canon shutter is blocked because the lens is retracted or no lens is attached, instead of failing silently.
• Added a clear message when a Canon camera overheats and can no longer record video.
• Fixed a rare crash when switching cameras while live view was stopping.
• Improved Canon EOS R50 reliability in 360/Slow-mo sessions so recording stops cleanly instead of leaving the camera stuck in record mode.
• Resolved a countdown freeze on Canon EOS M50 Mark II when starting video sessions by waiting for the camera to finish initializing before applying movie settings or when cancelling a session.

Photo & Video Sessions

• Fixed a freeze at the final countdown when using AI Background Removal with a custom background image with older Canon cameras.
• Resolved a Beauty Filter issue that could cause DSLR video sessions to silently fail before reaching the sharing screen.
• Square thumbnails now center-crop horizontally and crop from the top vertically so guests' faces are no longer cut off.
• Adjusted 16:9 GIF video cropping to crop from the top rather than the center, keeping subjects in frame for 3:2 photos.
• Fixed the recording duration slider in 360/Slow-mo sessions so it now shows accurate seconds across its range.
• Resolved an issue where the "memory card full" message could appear during capture even when the card was not full.
• Cleared lingering video-mode state at the start of photo sessions to prevent unexpected behavior.

Welcome Screen Editor

• Moved the Gallery button on/off toggle into the Gallery button's own edit panel for a more consistent editing experience.
• Moved the Lock button opacity slider into the Lock button's edit panel and simplified its label to "Opacity."
• Replaced the global Booth Icons toggle with per-button Show/Hide controls and editable label text on each start-session button, with hidden buttons shown at reduced opacity in the editor preview.
• Button visibility and label settings now sync through the cloud so they round-trip with LumaBooth Dashboard and iOS.

Photo Layout Editor

• Resize handles are now larger and styled to match LumaBooth on iOS and the Dashboard, making them easier to grab on touch screens.
• Selection borders and corner handles now use the primary theme color, and the rotate handle has been restyled to match iOS.
• Resize handles now scale with the canvas zoom level so they stay usable at any zoom.
• Sliders throughout settings and the editor now respond immediately to touch drag instead of requiring a press-and-hold.
• Decimal values such as 4.2 cm are now accepted in Width and Height fields when using centimeters.

Print Setup

• Removed outdated helper text for limits on number of copies.

AI Portraits

• AI Portrait improvements for preparation for Custom prompts.
• The AI Portrait progress bar now paces itself based on each preset's expected processing time.

Sharing

• Pending and sent counts on the Sharing Status detail screen now reflect the true number of items instead of being inflated by retry attempts.

Background Removal

• Fixed the trash can button so it now actually deletes background images.
• Polished the Background Removal settings with rounded card corners, correct margins, and trimmed scrollbar overlap.

Event Management

• Fixed migration of version 7 events so Welcome screens and template designs now carry over correctly into version 8.
• Custom fields added by other LumaBooth clients (web, iOS) are now preserved when an event is saved on Windows, instead of being silently stripped.

Stability

• Fixed a crash when opening the Account panel that affected a large number of users on 8.1.23.

Localization

• Improved the German translation for the Launch event button based on customer feedback.

Diagnostics

• The exact build version is now recorded in the logs, the About screen, and support emails so we can pinpoint which build a customer is running.
