    Great advice on the Eye-Fi!

    Can the iPad then share those photos to Facebook/email/twitter/etc. or is it for Display purposes only?

      Yes, you can share online if your eye-fi card and computer are connecting to a wireless router that has internet access.

    Using this method, does the photo show up on the iPad instantaneously? I’m looking for a way to set up a screen so the photo booth users can see their photos immediately after they take them. That way folks can see if their photos are good and adjust on the fly.

    If not, do you know of any way to set up a screen so users can see the photos as they take them?

    Thanks for your help!

    I don’t see this option in the DslrBooth preferences on a Mac version. Is there a workaround? Do you plan to add this in the next upgrade?

      Hey Reggie, this is a windows only option. For macs, you can easily do this using folder actions as in here http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/01/30/folder-actions-for-os-x-explained-with-real-world-examples/ to copy the images in the prints directory to another directory.
