This repo is for a Raspberry Pi powered photobooth for parties and events. The code here can be run on a Raspberry Pi connected to a camera, some buttons and a printer to build a fun photobooth that lets people capture and print photos without any assistance.
The Raspberry Pi camera is capable of a number of different resolutions. Your will probably want to setup your photobooth to print 6x4 photos so you should choose a resolution with the same aspect ratio (3:2). A smaller resolution is used during the countdown preview so it can maintain a high frame rate.
