improvement for the photo retake feature
Give guests control over pacing between shots in a multi-photo session. Requests converge on an optional review step after each capture with clear Keep and Retake (or Continue and Cancel) buttons, plus a way to pause the countdown so guests can change props or bring friends into frame. Operators note that a fixed countdown rushes some guests, that the last photo of a session cannot be cancelled even though earlier ones can, and that the current retake path is easy to miss during a busy event. The option should be switchable per event.
Consolidated from 10 customer requests on 3 Sep 2026.
Original request
Hi LumaBooth Team,
I am a user of your app and would like to suggest an improvement for the photo retake feature to make it more user-friendly.
Current Issue: The current retake option is not very intuitive for customers during a busy photo booth session.
Proposed Solution: Please allow customers to retake specific photos after the entire session is complete.
How it should work:
The customer takes all the photos in the sequence.
A final preview screen displays all the captured photos together.
The customer can tap on any specific photo they do not like and select "Retake" just for that individual frame.
This change would greatly improve the workflow, save time, and create a much smoother experience for our guests.
Thank you for your time and for continuously improving LumaBooth!

I think this is the #1 feature that Lumabooth is missing.
So many times we are unable to cancel the unwanted photo before the time expires and the session is finalized. This leaves guest with a photo in their print out that they don't want.

An Approve Button
Would love an approve button option after each picture. With the ability to turn it on and off per event.

i have to say, make this as an optional button tho. If its a very busy event, doing this would slow down the pace.

Add a pause button
Would be great to have a pause button during the photo session.
Sometimes my clients like to take one photo then walk out to change other props or get their friends from the other side of the room so I have to keep hitting the cross until they get back in frame.

a pause, or a “reset timer” or “add 10 more seconds”
it just needs a virtual button, exactly like the “lock” button

Yeah a pause button would actually be amazing! Can even pause it at 1 second for those unruly kids then click it when they are ready. LOVE this idea

Can you add a pause in between photo shots?
Hi,
Does LumaBooth have a setting that allows guests to choose Retake or Proceed after each photo before the next one is taken?
I'm currently using auto mode, but guests often need different amounts of time to change poses or props. I'd like to give them a more relaxed experience so they can enjoy the photo session without feeling rushed.
Thanks in advance!

Cancel or Proceed to the next one button per photo taken
Other software has this, it’s like once the session took the first photo, instead of going to the 2nd photo right away and count, it will display the photo taken and there’s an option for them to cancel or keep the current shot. It will be nice.
Although you guys have similar feature, how ever it’s just retaking the whole session instead of each photo in it. Also, we only have that “X” on the left corner to cancel it but something guest, wants to see it for like 10 secs and decide to retake it or continue.

For which platform?

platform is windows. To be more specific about the problem, i’m referring to the button that you can delete a photo while the session is not finished. In lumabooth the delete button(X) can be accessible only when the countdown is active, this makes so last photo can’t be deleted or repeated.

Add photo confirmation
Feature Request: Add a Photo Confirmation Prompt Between Captures
It would be great if Lumabooth could add an option to display a photo confirmation prompt before moving on to the next photo or the next session.
The current capture timer doesn't accommodate every guest. Some guests are ready immediately, while others need a bit more time to prepare. Because everyone has a different pace, relying solely on a countdown timer can make some guests feel rushed, which can take away from the fun and relaxed experience a photo booth is meant to provide.
An optional confirmation prompt (such as a "Ready" or "Continue" button) would let guests proceed at their own pace while keeping the session flowing naturally. This would improve the overall user

Problem with last photo of a photosession
Hello! Lets say we have a template with 3 photos! The 1st and 2nd photo there is time to review and retake if necessary. However, for the last photo (3rd) of each session, although there is review time, you cannot cancel. This did not happen with DSLR booth but just happened when i downloaded the new software

freeze or pause countdown
Hope to have the countdown paused after taking the photo so that guests have more time to take the photo and position themselves better. sometimes for senior couples, they take time despite setting to longer countdown.
