dslrBooth and LumaBooth: what changed
On 24 March 2026 Lumasoft renamed dslrBooth to LumaBooth for Windows, with version 8.0. LumaBooth for Apple runs on iPad, iPhone and Mac, and there is an Android app. They share a browser dashboard, but the Windows app is a separate subscription from the Apple and Android one.
So when people search for LumaBooth vs dslrBooth, the answer is: same company, same brand, different apps and subscriptions for Windows and for Apple or Android.
Where LumaBooth is strong
LumaBooth for Windows is low cost for a DSLR booth, has wide camera support, prints to most photo printers, and runs AI background removal locally on the PC for photos. Its AI Portraits cost a flat $0.10 each.
Where AI Photo Booth Pro is different
AI Photo Booth Pro is one app and one subscription across Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, covering two devices in any mix. A Windows DSLR booth and an iPad roaming booth can run on the same plan.
Its AI goes beyond portraits: 180+ ready effects, custom effects, group-aware face swap at 1 credit per face, and AI video. AI credits never expire. Our price per month is higher than LumaBooth's, so it pays off when you use these AI experiences or mix platforms.
Choose AI Photo Booth Pro if
- You want one subscription that covers Windows, Mac, iPad and Android together.
- You want face swap, AI video and custom AI effects, not only AI portraits.
- You sell AI experiences to brands and need white label branding.
- You want AI credits that never expire.
LumaBooth may suit you better if
- You mainly run a Windows DSLR print booth and want the lowest monthly price.
- You need local AI background removal without internet.
- You only need occasional AI portraits.
