Photo Booth


| MAD Class | Home Page |

Photo Booth is an application created by Apple that uses a built-in iSight camera to take pictures. It's possible to take a picture with a certain special effect, such as Bulge or Colored Pencil (see effects list below). These effects are chosen before you take the picture, and the preview shows the effect already applied.
