Apple’s Photo Booth turns your iSight into a mall photobooth

Rumors — 12 October 2005

Apple announced a new piece of software today, Photo Booth, which turns your Mac and iSight into a high tech mall photo booth.

The software let’s you take pictures of yourself and fun effects such as: Sepia, Black & White, Glow, Comic Book, X-Ray, Colored Pencil, Thermal Camera, Spotlight, Bulge, Dent, Twirl, Squeeze, Mirror, Light Tunnel, Stretch, and Fish Eye.

Just click the simple record button and you got a photo ready to go. Add it directly to your iPhoto library or set it as your iChat buddy icon.

On a scale of 1 to exciting? Probably around a 1.

Think you have to get a new macbook to have photobooth, but i am sure you can get it from a friend. The FrontRow software isnt supposed to on anything but the new machines, but you can hack the in too.

by the way, its called photo booth, not to be rude. But it’s only for the new computers so even if you have the old imac without the built in isight, it won’t work. my friend got hers right before they started having built in cameras, and she can’t get photo booth even though she has a seperate isight camera. and to the person who accedentally deleted photo booth, i think you can just get one off of someone else who has it.

only a few people have said what i am saying, but every third comment is: Where do you download photo booth and do you need a mac to run it?

YOU DO NEED A MAC, this is not for WINDOZE,
you need a mac running tiger and a built in iSight.
