How to Use Photo Booth on a Mac

Photo Booth is an application for the Mac computer. You can take pictures and videos, as well as change

the effects. Read on to learn how to use this incredible application.

Steps

1. Open Photo Booth. To do this, go to Spotlight and type 'photo booth' in the search bar. You

will see the Photo Booth application, and will see the following picture.

2. Take a picture. Go to the bottom left corner, and you will see a square. Click on the square.

Now you can take a picture by clicking on the camera button. Photo Booth saves your photos as

JPEG files in a folder named Photo Booth, located in your home folder. Choose File > Reveal in

Finder to see your picture files.

• When you click on the camera button, there will be a three-second countdown before a picture is taken.

You can change the effects if you want to make the picture interesting. The effects are: Sepia, Black and

White, Glow, Comic Book, Normal, Colored Pencil, Thermal Camera, X-Ray, and Pop Art. There are also

effects that change the person in the picture using these effects: Bulge, Dent, Twirl, Squeeze, Mirror, Light

Tunnel, Fish Eye, and Stretch.

Take a picture 4 times! If you click on the button that shows a window on the bottom left corner, and then

you press the camera button, there will be a three second countdown and then 4 pictures will be taken in a

row. This is perfect for quickly changing poses.

4 Record a video. Again, you can change the effects. But this time, you can put a different

background for the video. Click on the effects, and click on the right arrow until you see the backgrounds.

Examples of the backgrounds are: Earth rise, Clouds, and Rollercoaster. Record yourself singing along to a

song, playing a guitar solo, etc. That feature of Photo Booth will definitely keep you busy

Have lots of fun by taking many pictures, videos, and making plays using the video feature!

Tips

• If you want to use the backgrounds without them breaking up, have a well-lit room, and try not to wear the

same colors as the backdrop. You can completely eliminate it by taking the picture with a solid background.

• With the video feature of Photo-Booth, you can make a play and record it! Then you can put it on iMovie!

• You can have hours of fun with Photo Booth if you use it correctly!
