Drag and drop test photos into the app (Windows and Mac)

Feature Request

Restore drag and drop of image files into the app on Windows, and add it to Mac, so operators can drop JPEGs from the file system and run them through the normal processing pipeline (layout, overlays, filters, background replacement) to test templates and show clients sample results.

Consolidated from 3 customer requests on 3 Sep 2026.

Original request

After upgrading from dslrbooth to Lumabooth For Windows, I can no longer drag and drop images into the software, a feature I use for testing.

    100% agree! I need drag and drop feature on Mac very much. I have to keep the old one dslrBooth v3.9.4 on my MacBook Air with Ventura 13.7.8 Mac OS to use it…

    Drag & Drop Photo Processing for LumaBooth on Mac

    I'd like to formally request that the Drag & Drop Photos feature (currently available in LumaBooth for Windows) be brought to LumaBooth for Mac.

    Feature Summary:

    Allow users to drag and drop image files from Finder directly into the LumaBooth app on Mac, triggering the same processing pipeline as a live camera capture: applying the selected print layout template, overlays, filters, and background replacements, then outputting a final composite ready to print or share.

    Specific Use Cases:

    • Client previews: Dragging sample photos into a layout to show clients what their final prints will look like before the event, without needing a camera connected.

    • Session reprocessing: Re-running photos from a completed event through a different template or with updated branding without reshooting.

    • Template testing: Quickly validating new layout designs with real photos before going live at an event.

    • Backup workflow: Processing photos taken with an external camera or phone that weren't captured directly through LumaBooth.

    Expected Behavior (matching Windows version):

    1. User selects the number of photos matching the template's photo slots (e.g., 3 photos for a 3-slot layout).

    2. User drags them from Finder into the LumaBooth window.

    3. LumaBooth processes them as if captured by a connected camera: applies the active template, overlays, filters, and green screen replacement if enabled.

    4. The final composite is saved to the event gallery and available for printing/sharing.

    Why it matters:

    Many photobooth operators are migrating to Apple Silicon MacBooks for their portability, battery life, and build quality. Currently, the only way to access this feature is to run a separate Windows machine or use Parallels ($100/yr). This creates unnecessary friction and added cost for operators who otherwise prefer the Mac ecosystem. Adding this feature would bring the Mac version closer to feature parity with Windows and serve a growing segment of your user base.

    Thank you for considering this. Happy to provide more detail or connect you with other operators who would benefit.

    Drag&Drop JPEGs to app

    Hi,
    I am missing this function to create examples by dropping JPEGs to the app to see how the print templates look like.
    KR,
