Bring back shadow, stroke, border, and background color controls in the layout editor (app and dashboard)
Restore full styling controls in the layout editor, both in the app and in the dashboard: drop shadow and stroke on any element including uploaded PNGs and logos (not only text and photo boxes), solid borders around photos with adjustable thickness and color, a stroke color for photo frames, and a layout background color with an eyedropper. Operators say these were standard in dslrBooth and version 7, and that missing them online forces edits back on the booth.
Consolidated from 9 customer requests on 3 Sep 2026.
Original request
Before, shadow and stroke effects were available for any elements uploaded. Example if I added florals to my template (PNG) overlapping a photo box and needed some shadow effect for it to standout, I’d always apply shadow effect. Now this was removed. And I can only apply these effects on text and a photo box. Quite the setback in my opinion As this really enhances the quality of Image designs.

Option to add solid borders around photos.
My photo layout designs are mostly background images with images placed on top; I rarely ever do overlays. What I’d like to have, though, is an option to add a simple solid border around each photo. Would this be possible? The only adjustments we’d want control over are the thickness of the border (measured in pixels) and the color (with the ability to use a color-picker, or enter a color’s hex code).
This would be a great way to dress up photos when they’re placed on the strips.

Shadow
Hi, I am missing shadows of text and objects. IMHO that should not be a feature request as long it was standard in DSLRbooth.

Template bearbeitung online
Die Bearbeitung der Templates ist online noch nicht so gut wie direkt an der Fotobox oder in Lumabooth. Ich kann keinen Schlagschatten bei den Schriften einstellen und auch keinen Rahmen für die Fotos online einstellen. So muss ich leider doch wieder in der Software nachbearbeitet. Wenn diese möglichkeiten online gegeben wären, würde das den Workflow positiv beeinflussen.

Wer macht die Templates auch schon im Editor? Ich nutze PhotoShop dafür. Hat man doch viel mehr möglichkeiten als mit dem Editor.

Stroke color
When will we be able to change the border color for the photo frames online via the dashboard? It’s missing completely.
This is a critical step we do for every rental and we can’t do it online.

Schlagschatten auch im Dashboard
Was mir in der neuen Version fehlt ist das man einen Schlagschatten auch im Dashboard aktivieren kann dies geht aktuell nur auf den Boxen. Außerdem wäre es super wenn man auch wieder auf Logos einen Schlagschatten setzen kann wie früher und nicht nur bei Text.

Since the update and the switch from DSLRBooth to LumaBooth:
Since the update and the switch from DSLRBooth to LumaBooth:
Back Office – dash.lumabooth.com:
It is not possible to change the background color from the online editor: “PhotoBooth Experience” → “Photo Layout” → “Edit”
It is not possible to add a border around an element or photo, and define its shape, thickness, and color from the online editor.
LumaBooth software:
The “Boomerang Video” feature has disappeared 😭 and has been replaced by “360/Slow-mo”. The new feature looks very good in use, but Boomerang did not require an SD card to be installed in the cameras, whereas 360/Slow-mo does.
Our customers are very disappointed that the Boomerang feature has been removed, because we do not want/cannot install SD cards in our cameras (additional cost, extra maintenance to regularly empty the cards, etc.). As a result, we are unable to enable the 360/Slow-mo feature.
If the purpose of this change is to provide higher-quality videos, could you perhaps offer an option such as:
☐ “HD Video” → SD card required
☐ “SD Video” → No SD card required
Thanks Soooo Much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
