Green screen: bring back auto setting and a test shot with countdown

Feature Request

Improve green screen setup: bring back the automatic green detection setting, add a test shot like the one available for the beauty filter, and give the test shot a short countdown so the operator can step into the guest position before it fires. Calibrating by picking a green and fine-tuning with no preview is slow and unreliable with strobes and side lighting.

Consolidated from 3 customer requests on 3 Sep 2026.

Original request

I’d like to see a test shot feature for green screen removal. I’m using Mac OS with a strobe and side lighting for the green screen so selecting a green to remove and fine tuning it is essentially driving blind.

    Greenscreen: countdown for testing

    Hi Lumabooth team,

    Another small request, this one for the greenscreen workflow.

    Greenscreen calibration is delicate and really has to be tested from the exact spot where guests will stand. Right now, tapping the Test option fires the photo instantly, which means there's no time to step back into position — so the test photo doesn't actually reflect what guests will look like in the frame.

    A short countdown (even just 2 seconds) before the test photo fires would solve this completely.

    I also tried using the remote app to trigger the test from in-position, but it doesn't trigger the greenscreen test — only regular captures. If extending the remote to cover this is easier than adding a countdown, that would work too.

    Thanks!

    Best, Dan

    Auto Setting for Green Screen

    We need the auto setting back for the Green Screen removal feature. And a test shot option. You have the test shot feature for the Beauty Filter. Not sure why it was removed for the Green Screen? Photo booths don’t just use iPad’s and video lights so selecting the green and fine tuning is super frustrating and a huge time suck when you can’t see a preview before hand.
