Templates
MomentoBooth works with a simple templating system to thematize your photos.
A collage output is constructed of 3 layers:
- Background template image
- Collage photos
- Foreground template image
Together with the shape and resolution modifying settings in templating settings the template-images define the look of your collage photos. It is recommended to get the template settings right before designing your template images. This avoids extra work to incorporate a different resolution, padding, or aspect ratio.
See the guide for desiging templates for a step-by-step tutorial on how to design your templates.
Template-file selection
The application will search for template files in the configured template directory. Different templates can be supplied for different collage layouts (1 photo, 2 photos, 3 photos, 4 photos, 0 no photos selected yet).
The template search & selection for a 3 photo collage, for example, works as follows:
- Is there a
back-template-3.png? - Is there a
back-template-3.jpg? - Is there a
back-template.png? - Is there a
back-template.jpg? - No background.
The same is repeated for the foreground with front-template.
A general background and foreground can thus be specified which are overriden by collage-specific back- and foregrounds.
