An Intro to PhotoBooth
Filed Under (Computer Lab Updates, Resources) by Laura Smith on 12-08-2008
The new iMacs in the lab have come equipped with a simple application called PhotoBooth. Bundled in with Leopard, it uses the built in iSight camera to allow the user to snap shots and add effects and backgrounds. Thanks to Mr. Coleman, one of our sixth grade teachers who tipped me to PhotoBooth (just one of many Mac apps I have yet to discover), one of the fifth grade classes dug in today when we finished the other tasks of the day.
Here are some effects students can edit their photos with:
- Sepia
- Black & White
- Glow
- Normal
- Colored Pencil
- Thermal Camera
- X-Ray
- Pop Art
- Bulge
- Dent
- Twirl
- Squeeze
- Mirror
- Light Tunnel
- Fisheye
- Stretch
Chroma key technology is also used. These are the backgrounds available:
- Clouds (image)
- Color Dots (image)
- Earthrise (image)
- Eiffel Tower (video)
- Fish (video)
- Rollercoaster (video)
- Sunset (video)
- Yosemite (video
So, how do the pics look? Here are just some of the many creative and hilarious photos the kids created!
