It would be nice to be able to switch between these layouts from the start screen, or perhaps the layout selection screen, so that I don't have to jump into the settings each time. Ideally, I should be able to make this selection from a touchscreen button, or from a keyboard hotkey.</p></div>Michael Dicksontag:help.sparkbooth.com,2010-04-06:Comment/451489832018-04-22T14:29:21Z2018-04-22T14:29:21ZCycle between widescreen, portrait and square templates from start screen<div><p>That is not possible due to the difference in the layouts<br>
being different Aspect ratio's for the photo boxes of<br>
Square / Wide / Portrait and they can not be combined together.</p>
<p>That is why when you create a layout you select the type<br>
Square / Wide / Portrait (aspect ratio) and they are not<br>
ALL listed in the same save directory.</p>
<p>Yes, we know this sounds like a simple task of<br>
Putting them all together, but that just can not be done.</p>
<p>It is the same as when you have a Printer set to CUT a 4x6 layout<br>
into (2) 2x6 strips and also want to be able to NOT cut for a Full<br>
4X6 layout... you have to Manually change the printer each time.</p>
<p>Some things are just not possible (at least we have not been able to achieve it YET)</p></div>Joe Connelltag:help.sparkbooth.com,2010-04-06:Comment/451489832018-04-22T21:55:14Z2018-04-22T21:55:15ZCycle between widescreen, portrait and square templates from start screen<div><p>Hi Joe,</p>
<p>I think you misunderstood me.. :)</p>
<p>I do not want to mix different photo aspects on one layout. What I want to be able to do is change from layout #1 (which is widescreen), to layout #2 (which is portrait) without having to go into the settings. Currently, sparkbooth only lets you change between layouts of the same type, when you have the layout selection screen enabled.</p>
<p>I've attached a screenshot of the button I use to change between the layout configurations (photo_size_option.jpg). I'd basically like to be able to cycle between these 3 options from the start screen (as shown in photo_size_cycle.jpg)</p></div>Michael Dicksontag:help.sparkbooth.com,2010-04-06:Comment/451489832018-04-22T22:31:18Z2018-04-22T22:31:18ZCycle between widescreen, portrait and square templates from start screen<div><p>Sorry, Sparkbooth does not currently allow you to mix different photo sizes<br>
for guest selection.</p></div>John
