Roaming Mode
This would be great for portrait stations or Roaming photgraphers. On Print Layout have a toggle “Enable roaming mode/ no prints” or something similar were just the original photos are sent up for the session. Currently our workaround is to put an overlay over the print layout like a makeshift business card so no photo comes out but just a template. The only thing wrong with this is when users text themselves the photos they get a “business card/ template” for every photo taken.
A big portion of our business now is upscale Portrait stations without the booth but running the software or “Roaming” photographer on the red carpet/ in the events. I want to use the software to be event creation + session sharing.
i.e. toggle no prints and only original photos get posted to that session. Then later in the evening guests can go to our iPads or share stations and share the images taken to themselves.
We do this now with our portrait stations and the filters still apply to the original photos and it looks great in B/W. I just hate how if someone texts a session to themselves they will have just as many “business cards/layouts” as original photos

Why not disable uploading originals and have users just share the final layout image only?

If Im understanding your comment correctly we dont do that because a layout has to be predetermined in horizontal or vertial position depending on group size and type of shot, sometimes one works best or the other.
We want to have the ability to shoot either way and not be affected by the layout. So thats why I was thinking it could be a “roaming” option or a “no layout option” that woiuld include just the “uploaded originals”

Have you tried multiple layouts with 1 horizontal and 1 vertical layouts. Then photographer would choose and shoot?

That would defeat the purpose of the red carpet gala photos. You have lines of people walking through one small area, you cant be using 2 seconds everytime to select a layout, then shoot, then again. You need to be able to take 4-5 photos in rapid succession.
Same would apply to the Portrait station, You dont want to miss a candid moment or positioning.
Then you also bring into play, photgraphy variance, what if the photographer thought they selected vertical but shot horizontal?
This would be WAY too cumbersome, at that point id rather just have the “business card layout/ print overlay” appear once for every photo, and just pay an attendant to delete them from fotoshare as they appear.
