Configuring AI Effect Behavior

These settings control how AI effects work for your guests — how many photos get transformed, whether effects apply automatically, and how many tries guests get.



Max AI Photos per Session


When a guest takes multiple photos, this setting determines how many of them get the AI treatment.


  • Default: 1
  • What it means: Only the first photo gets the AI effect. The rest stay as originals.


How to Configure


  1. Go to Settings → AI
  2. Find Max AI Photos
  3. Adjust the value (1–3)
  4. Save


How It Works


Say a guest takes 4 photos with the Anime effect selected:


  • Max AI Photos = 1 → Photo 1 becomes Anime, Photos 2–4 stay original
  • Max AI Photos = 2 → Photos 1–2 become Anime, Photos 3–4 stay original
  • Max AI Photos = 4 → All 4 photos become Anime


Why Limit This?


  • Cost savings — Each photo processed costs credits. Processing 1 vs 4 is a 4x cost difference
  • Speed — Fewer photos = faster results
  • Artistic choice — A mix of AI-styled and original photos can look great in a template


1 photo is usually enough. It creates a nice contrast in multi-photo templates: one stylized hero shot + natural photos.



Auto-Apply AI Effect


Controls whether the AI effect applies automatically on the share screen or waits for the guest to press a button.


Auto-Apply ON (Automatic)


After the photo is taken, the AI effect applies immediately — no extra tap. The guest sees the transformed result appear automatically.


Auto-Apply OFF (Manual)


The guest sees their original photo first and must press a button to generate the AI effect. This gives them a moment to review before using credits.


  • Default: Off (manual mode)


How to Configure


  1. Go to Settings → AI
  2. Find Auto Apply AI
  3. Toggle it on or off


Which Should You Choose?


Scenario

Recommended

Unattended booth, single effect

Auto-apply ON

High-volume event, fast turnover

Auto-apply ON

Multiple effects, guest choice matters

Auto-apply OFF

Cost-conscious, want to avoid wasted credits

Auto-apply OFF

Guests may want to retake photos

Auto-apply OFF


Auto-apply ON is perfect for hands-off setups. Auto-apply OFF is better when you want to save credits or give guests more control.



Max AI Tries per Session


Coming Soon — This feature is not yet available. Currently, each guest gets 1 AI effect application per session (fixed).


Once this launches, you'll be able to set a custom limit per event:


  • 1 try — Guests pick one effect and move on (fastest flow)
  • 3–5 tries — Guests can experiment with a few options
  • Unlimited — Let guests try every effect (best for smaller events)


Why Limit Tries?


  • Cost control — Every application uses credits
  • Faster guest flow — Fewer tries = faster decisions
  • Line management — At busy events, you don't want one guest spending 5 minutes trying everything



Tips


  • Budget accordingly — If you set Max AI Photos to 4 and your template has 4 slots, credit costs per session quadruple
  • Match your template — If your template has one large featured photo slot, that's the one that gets the effect
  • Test both auto-apply modes — Try each at an event and see which your guests prefer
  • Brief your attendant — If running manual mode, have your operator encourage guests to tap the generate button


These settings work together. Think of it as: how many photos get the effect (Max Photos), whether it happens automatically (Auto-Apply), and how many times a guest can try (Max Tries — coming soon).
