Darkroom overview

What is Darkroom?

Darkroom is a photo editing suite designed to help businesses capture, process, edit, retouch, print, and sell photos. It offers various solutions including Darkroom Booth, Core, Assembly, Hotfolder, and Event Gallery.

The suite includes Darkroom Booth, which lets photographers build customizable booths with video, sound, light, and bell effects, initiate hashtag printing using a Kiosk, and post GIFs, videos, and files to other platforms Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, and Twitter. Professionals can utilize the Darkroom Hotfolder application to manage image folders and automate the printing and file sharing process across live event galleries. It also provides an Assembly platform, which helps users streamline workflows for group photography, PSPA yearbooks, portrait CD, and more.

Administrators can use white-label image galleries to promote event-specific designs, watermark branding across photos, share password-protected galleries, and sell images to attendees. Photographers can capture images in less light and adjust ISO or white balance using camera settings within the application.

“Also I have spent so many hours wasted on just waiting for a responded email. The communication is through email which can take an entire day to resolve one small issue.”

“They will send links to more links of reading material, which is not support. I can find reading material on my own.”
