Tailor is a set of hardware plans and software for a wedding/event photo and includes image processing, camera control, live slideshow, and touch based image browser for kiosk operation. It is a project in development, but is stable enough for general use.
This project aims for Windows, OS X, and Linux compatibility, but not all features are supported on each platform now. Currently, full features are available on OS X and Linux; Camera capture is currently unavailable on Windows, but it is being worked on.
I use PURIKURA for my professional photobooth service.
Any camera supported by libgphoto2 is supported by this software. An up-to-date list is available on their website. Live-view is functional, and can be used to preview photos before they are taken.

Webcams are not supported at this time.
PURIKURA supports the arduino for interfacing with physical buttons over USB and also has a smartphone-inspired touch interface. For computer systems without a touch screen monitor, the mouse can be used.
The kiosk interface offers print/reprint controls, camera tilt, email, camera live view, and twitter.
Service.py runs the camera capture service. Kiosk.py runs the touch interface.
Operation under windows will be documented in the future. Stay tuned.
A simple slideshow is included that will automatically add new images from a hot folder. There are currently 3 formats that rotate: a ken burns effect, a stacked photos effect, and simple scrolling photos effect.
If you encounter any errors, please issue a bug report. Also, please note that while I am providing the software for free, my time is not free. If you wish to use this software and need help getting you system going I will be accepting paypal donations in exchange for my time.
I reserve all rights to determine what features will be added and how the interface is used for this software that is hosted here. You are welcome to fork this project at any time and customize it as you wish.
