Retake a Single Photo

You’re Seeing a Beta Preview!

These features are almost ready, and this article will be expanded and polished once the final release goes live. We’ve shared it early to support you during the beta. If anything is unclear or you need help, just message our team!

Introduction

Retake a Single Photo provides operators and photographers with the flexibility to redo one or more photos within a multi-photo session, rather than restarting the entire capture sequence.

This feature saves time, reduces frustration, and helps deliver consistent professional-quality results for both Photo Booth Mode and Roaming Mode.

To use this feature, you must have Show Captured Media Previews enabled, as the retake option appears within the preview interface.

⚠️ Survey Pop-up - The survey will pop up before the preview image is displayed.

What is Retake a Single Photo

The Retake a Single Photo feature allows users to re-capture one image within a session while keeping the rest of the session intact.

Instead of discarding every photo and starting over, you can quickly replace the one image that didn’t turn out perfectly.

This is especially useful for:

Group shots where one person blinked/eyes closed, etc.
Roaming photographers capturing spontaneous moments.
Professional shoots that require consistency across a template.

How It Works

During capture, each new photo appears in the Captured Media Preview Bar.
Tap 'Next" to view the final output.

Click on previous if you are not happy with the final output
Select the photo thumbnail you want to retake and click on the red delete button to delete the current image

Capture a new photo, which will automatically replace the previous one in that slot.
Once you are happy, you can share your session.

Benefits for Roaming and Photo Booth Modes

Benefit	Photo Booth Mode	Roaming Mode
Control	Guests can fix a single bad shot	Photographer can quickly correct images mid-session
Speed	Saves time by avoiding full retakes	Keeps roaming workflow fast and seamless
Guest Experience	Makes sessions smoother and less stressful	Keeps guests engaged while capturing perfect moments
Output Quality	Ensures perfect composite layouts	Maintains professional consistency

💡 Tip: Combine this feature with Approval Requests to ensure all retakes are reviewed before final output is saved or credits are used. Approval will always be enabled for "Online Greenscreen," even if you disable it on the dashboard.

Setting Up in Snappic (Step-by-Step)

Open your event in the Snappic Dashboard.
Go to Event Options → Roaming → Roaming mode Settings → enable Show Captured Media Previews
Save and sync your event to the Snappic app.
Once the image is captured, the final output will be displayed, and you can tap 'Retake Photo' to capture a new image.
Continue capturing or finalize your session if you are satisfied with the output.

Usage Tips and Advanced Tips

✅ Use this feature for high-quality group or portrait sessions.

✅ Combine with Excess Media Capture to take multiple versions before choosing the best one.

✅ For AI FX events, ensure all retakes are finalized before AI processing begins.

✅ Ideal for roaming photographers who want to perfect shots on the go.

✅ On smaller screens, minimize the Digital Props tray for better access to preview thumbnails. Double-tap the arrow on the digital props screen.

Best Practices

✅ Do’s:

Always enable Show Captured Media Previews before the event.
Use this feature to fine-tune shots for clients or VIPs.
Double-check lighting before retaking a photo.

⚠️ Don’ts:

Avoid repeated retakes during high-volume events, as it can slow down the queue.
Do not approve a session until retakes are completed.
Avoid disabling previews mid-event since it will remove the retake option.
