Can I recreate the 'colored pencil' Photo Booth effect in iPhoto ?

Hey Folks,
I'm a very recent Mac convert (from XP / Linux dual boot PC) to a 20" iMac Intel and I'm loving the experience !
I would like to integrate all the great applications as much as I can, specifically I'd like to recreate the "colored pencil" effect available in Photo Booth on existing image files I have - I think it goes really well with Comic Life that came bundled with the iMac.
Is there a way to do that with iPhoto, or Core Image Fun House or something ?
Thanks in advance...
Johnny. A happy convert.
20" iMac Intel   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   1.5GB RAM

Thanks for the reply Lori, I hadn't found the Comic Life effects (there's quite a few in the version I have also).
None of the ones I have seem to recreate the 'colored pencil' however -
here's what the effect does in Photo Booth (please excuse the frightening early morning snap...)
<http://www.exito.co.uk/images/PhotoBoothColoredPencil.jpg>
That's what I'm trying to acheive with existing images.
I'm hoping it's possible with the inbuilt Core Image filtering (or an app utilising it)
as I'm guessing that's what Photo Booth is using under the hood.
Johnny.

  • Can I enable the countdown in photo booth for ipad2?

    In past versions of photo booth, I remember that while we were taking photos, it had automatically started countdown for 3 seconds. Now, it doesn't countdown and I couldn't find how can I enable it. Thanks for your help..

  • Can't see the bottom of Photo Booth

    Suddenly I can't see the bottom of Photo Booth to delete photos I don't like. The toolbar at the bottom is in the way. Making the toolbar smaller doesn't seem to help. This is a recent problem. It wasn't happening before. Did I do something to make this happen? Can I fix it? I'd appreciate any tips!

    HI Patty...
    Try deleting this file. com.apple.PhotoBooth.plist
    /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.
    BTW, you posted this in the Safari for Mac forum.
    I'm going to ask a host to move you thread to the Tiger forum.
    Also, please click My Settings on the right side of this window and type in which Mac you have, scroll down and click Save. Thanks!

  • How can I change the time of photos in info in iPhoto for iOS. I've done it in iPhoto for Mac but when I sync to my ipad the info field goes back to the camera time ignoring "modify original files" in iPhoto for Mac?

    I used "adjust date and time" and"modify original files" to correct the time of photos taken on a camera used in Peru which was set to UK rather than local time. which is 6 hours  behind. This was to bring them into line with shots taken with other cameras set to local time. This was using iphoto 08 on a Mac. I then synced to my iPad. The photos stayed in the correct order in photos but in iphoto (iOS version) the original dates appear (the camera dates) and so the photos are out of chronological order again. This looks like a bug but is there a fix?

    don't know what you mean by "write to master" but speculate that it means modify the original times, in which case the taken times on the camera should no longer be present
    No,I meant your using the option "modify original files" will do exactly that - change the capture date original master files stored in the iPhoto library. Only when you do that, the "date modified" of your original files will be changed as well, and it will now be the date of your manipulation of the capture date.
    Oh - I hadnt considered that possibility - but of that were the case, why don't my manipulated photos go to the end of the sequence as I have done all the manipulation after the end of the holiday??
    In photos the synced album maintains the chronological order which I set up on the mac by modifying the originals, as you said,
    That is what the linked article is describing: "some apps may sort your photos in the order you specify in the app (such as iPhoto or Aperture"
    The problem I have is that, in the album, iphoto (ipad) sorts them differently to both iphoto (Mac) and the photos tab on the ipad
    In addition to albums and events, synced photos appear in a unified category called Photo Library (on iPad, this is the Photos tab). Photos are not duplicated. This category will also sort photos in ascending order by the date modified.
    "on ipad this is the Photos tab" - but this displays as per the original sequence ignoring time adjustments - the manipulations seem to be ignored (but are reflected in the album in the photos tab) and the photos tahat have been modified stay in their original positiom - they don't get put the end
    Because the library uses a different date - the date modified - the date of the last time the file has been changed in any way - any editing you do to your image, including adjust date and time will change the "date modified"
    This may change the sorting of the database but it appears not to influence the order in the albums
    In addition to albums and events, synced photos appear in a unified category called Photo Library (on iPad, this is the Photos tab). Photos are not duplicated. This category will also sort photos in ascending order by the date modified.
    So how can i get my photos in date and time order in an album in iphoto for ipad?
    Thanks for your help

  • Photo booth effects in iphoto

    I really like the pop art effect that photo booth offers. I have tried some external software (Funtastic Photos) but I preferred Apple's version. I also tried finding Corel Image Fun House as suggested by a search but don't really understand how to do this. Any suggestions to be able to use the pop art filter with my photos?
    Thanks,
    Lori

    Photo booth effects are not available to process iPhoto photos - you can suggest to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
    MacWorld Gems had a Mac photo effects program listed a couple of months ago that you might like - Funtastic photos - http://ohanaware.com/funtasticphotos/

  • How can I change the colors of a photo?

    How can I change the colors in a photo?

    No. You'd need an external editor for that kind of stuff:
    In order of price here are some suggestions:
    Seashore (free)
    The Gimp (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Pixelmator ($50 approx)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    Of course, you may not want to change the shape of a photo which would distort it. You may want to print it in an oval shape but undistorted. I'd use a page layout app like Pages for that,

  • How can I change the color of a box in book layout?

    I am try to change the color of a photo box when making a book.
    Will the box print? and if so how can I change the color
    Thank you
    Mark

    The box will print... but there is no way to just assign a color to a box. The closest you can get is ot create a small solid colored image in Photoshop and assign that to the box. You may get a resolution warning but as long as it's a solid color it does not matter how few pixels you have.

  • How can I change the color of a object inside a symbol?

    Hello!
    I'm working on this study and I need to change the color of an object inside a symbol when I click another object.
    The object is called "bola", wich is inside the symbol "ponto" and the clicking object are the colored pencils (each pencil should change the color of the symbol's object, giving the impression you'd selecting a different pencil to draw).
    I think it's simple to understand what I mean when you see the files.
    I already tried this line on click event of the pencils, but it didn't work:
    sym.getSymbol("ponto").$("bola").css("color","#123456");
    Anyone knows how to make that work?
    I would like to improve the experience of drawing as well. I made it with the "mousedown" event. Is that a better way to get a similar effect?
    My files
    Thanks a lot,
    Clayton F.

    Ok here is another sample:

    http://www.meschrene.puremadnessproductions.net/Samples/HELP/LapisB/Lapis.zip
    You need to create a var that changes the css background color..
    Hopefully you can understand what I did...
    The text I left showing so that you could see it change...
    I updated the files and all colors should work now.

  • Can not control the color in JOGL

    I am a beginner to use JOGL.
    I find that I can not control the color, both background and foreground. The background is always Black, and foreground is always Red.
    I use canvas.setBackground(Color),
    gl.glColor3*(), trying to change the color. But it does not work.
    What is the problem?
    Thanks.
    Toby

    A big help for learning JOGL is reading the Red Book from OpenGL, which can be downloaded in pdf. Since JOGL is almost a direct wrapper, the function calls are identical.
    To set the background color, you need to add a GLEventListener to the GLCanvas that you're using. To set the background color, in your init() method for GLEventListener do:
    public void init(GLAutoDrawable glad) {
    GL gl=glad.getGL();
    gl.glClearColor(r,g,b);
    or something similar, I'm not on my normal computer so this was all from memory. Check the JOGL API for the exact method name for glClearColor. To change the foreground color, there are a bunch of various methods that are all similar to glColor3f(float r,float g,float b).
    Calling this on the GL object in the display() method will set the foreground color and everything drawn that isn't using lighting will use this color.

  • How can i change the color of the text on a button in Roll Over or Click state (Cs5.5)

    Hello,
    Here is the problematic:
    1° How can i change the color of the text on a button in Roll Over or Click state (Cs5.5)
    - I've many button in a doc im creating
    - the color of the buttons is white with black stoke & black text
    - in roll over state i want them to inverse the color coding (the text white & bottom black)
    - currently the text becomes invisible as black on black cant be seen (ive stroked it white but that looks ugly)
    - i would just like to know if there is a function made for this?
    My other questions:
    2° Ive a presentation on which Ive created buttons which tigger pop-up animations
    - i have 5 buttons which trigger animations
    - the viewer can chose to Click on any of the buttons randomly
    - the problem is once the animation is open how can it be close... either:
    a) by it self after "40" seconds
    b) when ther viewer clicks another button
    3° Ive created buttons linking pages..
    - "go to page xxx"
    - when i do a preview and click on the buttons the links dont take me to the right pages
    - is that normal? (maybe in preview its suppose to be like that)
    4° I would like to intergrate YouTube videos in the presentation so they play inside the docment.. when i tried.. it said the 'link isnt a flash video'
    - what should i do?
    5° Once i export it into Swf. how how can i visualize it? or put it online?
    Thank you for your time.

    You should setup Object Styles - these can also include Paragarph Styles that can be triggered when the Style is selected.

    - is that normal? (maybe in preview its suppose to be like that)
    Does it work properly when you export it to the finished file?
    4° I would like to intergrate YouTube videos in the presentation so they play inside the docment.. when i tried.. it said the 'link isnt a flash video'- what should i do?
    InDesign won't link directly to youtube videos. I think your best bet would be to use Downloader to download the video and embed them directly in Indesign.
    5° Once i export it into Swf. how how can i visualize it? or put it online? 
    Thank you for your time.
    You can look up how to embed a SWF file into your HTML - but it depends what you mean by "online" there's a dozen ways to get a file "online".

  • In working on a simple home budget,  how can I change the color of a negative number to red,  during the period the number is negative.    Thanks,

    Using Numbers spreadsheet and In working on a simple home budget,  how can I change the color of a number to RED when it  comes up negative.  (only during the time that it's negative)  Thanks,  ( I hope I did this right!!) 

    The Inspector offers choices of format for negative numbers when you choose Number of Currency as the format for a cell. Also offered when the format is set to Automatic, IF the selected cell(s) contain number(s).
    The choices are in the pop-up menu beside the box for number of decimal places.

  • How can I change the color of birthday calendar?

    The birthday calendar in the new iPhone OS gets it color automatically. How can I change the color? It does not correspond to the color in iCal on my Mac.

    I figured out a solution for changing the other calendars but not the birthday calendar. Although it's not the most direct fix, it worked for me. Apparently Apple didn't think to give us the ability to choose the calendar color. I use Entourage and sync over the air. When I upgraded to iOS 4 my calendar turned bright red and the birthday calendar was blue. I don't use the birthday calendar so it isn't even enabled in my case. What finally worked was to go through the calendar colors one at a time by disabling and re-enabling the calendar in my mail account settings. I would double click the home button to quickly switch between settings and calendar to check the color each time I enabled the calendar. I had to do this 4 or 5 times to cycle through until blue came back up.

  • Can't change the color of a symbol I created

    I am a beginner in illustrator, and I have been doing some online tutorials. I have run into a problem that I can't seem to find the answer to. I'm hoping you guys can help. I am doing a basic tree, I made a couple leaf symbols so that I could just easily duplicate the leaves. However, now I am going back and adding color and while some of the leaves I can change from black to green. Other leaves will not change color, they stay black to matter what I do. I am not sure what I am doing wrong or what I need to do to fix it. I am wondering if I did something wrong when I made the symbol. I am able to put a new color on the leaves that I made first. I made about 5 then I made a new symbol with the leaf a bit smaller and then another one with the leaf flipped. I think it is these leaves that I can't change the color on. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.

    Are we talking about "real" symbols in Illustrators symbol panel?
    How exactly do you try to change their color? You can't simply apply a color to a symbol instance, you need to either edit the symbol itself or expand the symbol instance (detach it from the symbol) or use the symbol-color-tool.

  • How can i change the color of the graph in agreement of the program's condition

    Hi,
    I am using labview 5.1 in my graduation's project final. (sorry by my english, but i am ina hurry)
    How can i change the color of the graph in agreement of the program's condition?
    I am developing a VI to control the temperature of termistors,but i have another sensor too.
    In a graph i have the situation of the termistors,but i want to change the color of the graph when the sensor is active.
    Thanks a lot

    To change the color of the line itself, you can use the attribute Plot>>Plot Color.
    To change the color of the points, you can use the attribute Cursor>>Cursor Color.
    To select the color, you should have a color box constant inside the Numeric>>Additional Numeric Constants palette.
    This is all in LV 7.0. I'm not sure how it similar it is in 5.1.
    One important thing is to place the attribute node inside a case structure which will execute only when your condition has been filled.
    If this didn't help you, I suggest you post the relevant piece of code, or at least an image of it (no BMPs, please).
    Try to take over the world!
