Ultimate Photo Booth with Custom Tweaking.

If youre a fan of the original Photo Booth but always wanted customization, look no further. The advanced options are here! Launch FaceBoof! and use Command+I to open the two "Inspector" panels. You have access to all the Quartz Filters (.qtz) in the system, including Apples complete set (Photo Booth hides most of the built-in Apple supplied effects).

Take a look at the options on "FaceBoof Camera" (left inspector panel) which is the first filter that the webcam passes through. You can zoom, rotate, colorize, or change the brightness and contrast. You can crop the image to a soft circle. The cropping is tied into the face tracking, which means the cropping follows your face in the screen.

Next, flip to the right panel. This is the second filter the webcam passes through before appearing in the main window. You can use any built-in effect here: comic book, Andy Warhol ad nauseum.

Finally, select a filter in the main window and tweak away. You can take snapshots __and__ most importantly, save all your custom settings in file for later use. Some of the filters are kind of wacky and childish, but lets face it: Apple provides many, many built-in effects that are otherwise unavailable in Photo Booth.

The snapshots are saved as PNG files in the Pictures folder. Id like an option to make JPEGs, but its a minor concern.
