1. GPU Driver is Too Old
If you see a message indicating your GPU driver is too old, update your NVidia GPU driver: Steps to Update NVidia GPU Driver:
1. Identify Your GPU Model:
- Press Win + R, type dxdiag, and press Enter.
- Check the Display tab for your GPU model.
2. Download the Latest Driver:
- Visit the NVidia Driver Download page.
- Enter your GPU model and OS details, then download the latest driver.
3. Install the Driver:
- Run the installer, follow the instructions, and restart your computer.
Updating your GPU driver ensures QBooth can utilize the latest features and performance improvements.

2. Server Loading Failed (No CUDA core found)
Please check your BIOS settings and activate the discrete GPU (NVidia). On some laptops, it tends to use the internal Intel GPU instead of the NVidia GPU.

3. Out of Memory
If you encounter an "Out of Memory" error while using QBooth, increasing the pagefile size on your computer can help. The pagefile, also known as the virtual memory, acts as an extension of your computer's physical memory (RAM). Here's how to increase the pagefile size:
Steps to Increase Pagefile Size
1. Open System Properties:
- Press Win + R to open the Run dialog box.
- Type sysdm.cpl and press Enter.
2. Access Performance Options:
- In the System Properties window, go to the Advanced tab.
- Under the Performance section, click on Settings.
3. Adjust Virtual Memory:
- In the Performance Options window, go to the Advanced tab.
- Under the Virtual Memory section, click on Change.
4. Modify Pagefile Settings:
- Uncheck the box that says Automatically manage paging file size for all drives.
- Select the drive where you want to increase the pagefile size (usually C:).
- Choose Custom size and enter the initial and maximum size in megabytes (MB). A good rule of thumb is to set the initial size to 1.5 times your RAM and the maximum size to 3 times your RAM.
For example, if you have 8GB of RAM (8192 MB), set the initial size to 12288 MB and the maximum size to 24576 MB.
5. Apply and Restart:
- Click Set, then OK to apply the changes.
- Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

4. QBooth CPU Facewap Error When Processing
"Failed to import ONNX: DLL load failed while importing onnx_cpp2py_export", this can be fixed by installing Visual C++ Redistributable from:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist

5. Welcome Video Not Played
If you see black blank screen when launching the Self-Photo event, it might be caused by the welcome video failure to play. You can try changing the media player library in Global Settings (Others Tab). There are two media libraries available: Windows Media Player and VLC. You can select one of these and see which one runs well on your system.

You can contact WhatsApp/Phone: +6287883189089 to purchase or get more information.
Payment can be done via bank transfer or Paypal.

QBooth supports two main template formats:
.QSD (Standard): for regular templates with a single image slot.
.QSC (Collage): for creating collages that combine multiple graphic elements into one output.

Use the following writing formats for optimal results:
- keyword:value to emphasize (example: red dress:1.5)
- (grouped keywords) for light emphasis
- ((tiered emphasis)) for layered emphasis
Example combination: ((detailed face:1.5)), (soft light), (fairy forest:0.8)

Use the Automation feature to process multiple images at once.
Ensure the source folder and result folder are properly set, and the selected .QSD template matches your intended configuration.

The Collage feature allows users to create magazine-style or poster-style templates with multiple elements.
Files are saved in .QSC format and can include overlays, stickers, and text.

If the welcome video or animation doesn't appear, try changing the media playback engine in Settings > Others.
There are two available options: Windows Media Player or VLC.

When using third-party software, QBooth won’t be able to communicate directly with your
camera, meaning you won’t be able to use direct liveview from the camera to Q-Booth. If
you want liveview with those cameras, you can try connecting them as webcam, using USB
HDMI Capture device. You can still trigger the camera using the shutter button or a camera
remote.

For template update, QSD and QSC samples, can be downloaded from Settings - Other.

Q-Booth Basic ($200) is the standard version designed for general-purpose photobooths.
It captures photos from a connected camera, then replaces or removes the background and arranges them into various templates.
This version does not use generative AI, making it lightweight and suitable for computers with standard specifications — only a regular CPU is required, with no need for a dedicated GPU.

Q-Booth Faceswap ($350) allows users' faces to be swapped onto predefined characters — such as superheroes, cartoon figures, or celebrities.
The system detects a face from the camera and replaces it in the character template while preserving the original pose and composition.
This feature is also lightweight and does not require a GPU, making it suitable for use on standard laptops.

Q-Booth Pro ($780) is the most advanced and powerful edition.
It utilizes generative AI (via Stable Diffusion) to reimagine photos from scratch based on prompts — including changes to style, character identity, and even body pose.
Ideal for creative, themed booths and extreme personalization, this version requires an NVidia GeForce RTX GPU (minimum 8GB VRAM) to deliver fast, high-quality results due to its processing demands.

Issue: Live view appears dark when the DSLR is connected, especially with flash settings.

Cause: On Canon cameras, this is due to Exposure Simulation, where live view mimics the photo exposure with flash, which isn’t firing continuously, resulting in a dark display.

Solutions:
For Canon cameras with Exposure Simulation (e.g., 80D, 90D, 5D, 6D, M5, M50, R100): Go to camera settings and disable "Exp. Sim." or "Exposure Simulation". This allows live view to use a separate, brighter exposure from the photo.

For older/cheaper Canon cameras without Exposure Simulation (e.g., M3, Rebel SL1, SL2, T6i, T7i): Use constant lighting instead of flash for proper live view exposure. If using a Canon-branded TTL-compatible flash, live view may expose correctly. Alternatively, enable the "Brighten Live View" setting in the app to automatically brighten the live view.

Note: Check your camera model and flash compatibility to choose the best solution.

No, Q-Booth Faceswap or Q-Booth Pro runs entirely offline. All image processings are done using your computer's Graphic Card (GPU) and CPU. Internet connection just needed for the first time the application run on a day, for license checking.

You can use any printer with Q-Booth, as long it can be read by the Windows OS. The most used printer brands are: DNP, Fujifilm, Kodak, Epson, etc.

Yes, but don't use RTX 5000 series yet. Because this new products have been reported have some driver issues
