How to increase photo booth resolution?

photo booth is taking pics at 640x480 only. i think the macbook isight is 2 MP. that means the resolution should be more. any help?

Hello Ace
You can do it using iMovie as an intermediary. See the following link to bring the PhotoBooth into iMovie. I would add when selecting the resolution you would choose the higher 1024 x 768 resolution as you desire.

  • Qosmio X500 - How to increase the screen resolution?

    Hi,
    Does anybody know how to increase the screen resolution? My qosmio X500 is 1920 x 1080 and I want to raise it to 1920 x 1200.
    Thank you/Red

    Hey
    1) I think the screen brightness is about 180 nits for this qosmio model. If I change the graphics card, can I increase the brightness to 300 NITS levels? If yes, which card do you suggest? If not, how can I achieve this?
    2) When I view the screen in 100 % magnitude, then the texts are too small to read. But then when I view the screen in 125 % or higher, then the texts go blurry. Is there a way to avoid this?

    You will have to install it from the installer DVD as follows:
    How to Use Pacifist to Replace Deleted or Missing OS X Components
    Insert the OS X Installer DVD into the optical drive. Use a simple utility like TinkerTool to toggle invisibility so you can see invisible items. Alternatively, open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and at the prompt enter the following:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles Yes
    Press RETURN.
    To turn off the display of invisible files repeat the above command substituting No for Yes.
    The install packages are located in the /System/Installation/ folder on the DVD.
    Download the shareware utility Pacifist from VersionTracker or MacUpdate. Use it to extract a fresh copy of the missing item(s) from the file archives on your OS X installation DVD. The file archives are in the /System/Installations/ folder (use Go to Folder option in the Go menu of the Finder.)
    Here are Four Basic ways to use Pacifist (courtesy of George Orville.)
    A. Drag a .pkg icon onto the Pacifist window .....proceed to step 7.
    B. Click on “Open Package ....” and navigate to package desired and click “Open” in the open/save window.....proceed to step 7.
    C. Insert Mac OS X installer CD and when it mounts, navigate to .... Menu->Go->Go to Folder.
    In the path field enter or paste ....
    /Volumes/disc name/System/Installation/Packages (where disc name is the name of the CD/DVD that you inserted.
    • Click on the "Go" button .....
    • Drag a .pkg to Pacifist..... proceed to step 7.
    The package you'll need will have to be discovered by trial and error, but for most applications you should start with the Essentials.pkg and/or Additional Essentials.pkg.
    D. Insert your Mac OS X install disk 1 .... and open Pacifist.
    1. In Pacifist, select "Open Mac OS X Install Packages" ... dialog may appear asking for disk 2, then disk 3 and finally disk 1 again.... {if DVD is not used)...If “Stop Loading” is selected...the procedure will stop!!!
    2a. When loading is complete, a new window appears, click the triangle to display contents of each package...Select item and proceed to step 7.
    2b. or click the “Find” icon in the Pacifist window and type the name of the software you need.
    3. In the list that comes back, click the top most entry for the item that you want. ..... that is the one for the English language.
    4. On the top of the Pacifist window, click “verify” .... you will probably be prompted for your password.
    5. Enter checks for.... “verify permissions” and “verify file contents.” and click “verify” ....enter password when prompted.... you will get back output which may look like this:
    20 files were scanned.
    20 of 20 files were present on the hard disk.
    0 of 20 files had file permissions that did not match those specified in the package.
    0 of 20 files had checksums that did not match those specified in the package.
    6. Click “close”. Go to step 7.
    Extract or Install........
    7. In the Toolbar (upper left), you now have the option to extract or install. Click a file in the lower list and those two icons will be enabled.
    8. If “Extract to...” is selected.... navigate to the location where the file will be placed, select “choose”, select “extract” in new dialog that appears,authenicate , if prompted, click “OK”.
    9. In the next dialog, click “Extract”.
    10. If “Install” is selected... dialog will appear with the location/path of the installed software. Click “Install”
    11. Type in your password, click “OK”
    • Pacifist will begin to extract files.
    12. In steps 8/10ß.... you also have the choice to “cancel”
    Notes.....
    • Pacifist may find that a file it is installing already exists on the hard disk. Pacifist will present you with an alert panel....
    Stop
    Leave original alone
    Update ..... Default selection
    Replace .... Replace option should only be used on full install packages

  • How to use photo booth with skype???

    I can't seem to figure out how to use the photo booth effects with Skype. I would just use iChat but my husband is on a PC and I am on TDY for the military with my MacBook.

    Hi,
    There is a folder called Compositions in the system side of things that booth Apple apps of Photo Booth and iChat can access for the Video Effects (And Backdrops on Intel computers in iChat)
    Third Party apps such as Skype do not access this folder and therefore do not have Effects.
    (there  may be a Skype add-on that has them but I don't use it so I don't know).
    It seems CamTwist does work for Skype.
    iChat should Video to AIM on a PC (free)  (Or Trillian Pro for a small amount).
    Results can vary with AIM  (Post in iChat if you want to know more) but you would then have access to the same effects Photo Booth has.

  • How to recover photo booth

    my photo booth is erased! how can i recover?

    PhotoBooth is one of those applications that get installed only with OS X, there is no separate bundled installer, so you won't find it on the second grey disks that come with your computer or the bundled programs installer on the first grey disk.
    Getting PhotoBooth back onto your computer is complicated because it requires OS X to be reinstatlled, which is no problem if you didn't upgrade to later versions of OS X than what came with the machine.
    So until I know more information....
    1: What OS X version came with your computer? Look at the original disks if you have them or under the Apple menu > About This Mac.
    2: What OS X version are you using now? Did you upgrade and still have the disk?
    3: Do you have a external drive that you can store a copy of your files on?
    4: Are your disks in working order and ready to go?
    5: Are you afraid of erasing your computers hard drive?

  • How to reinstall  Photo booth?

    How do I reinstall Photo Booth?

    I know this is an old thread and you didn't state why you wanted/needed to reinstall Photo Booth, but I have the same question because the Photo Booth on my iMac now says "Photo Booth couldn't save your photos" when I launch it. The message continues "Photo Booth encounterred an error when trying to save your photos. Your photos cannot be saved at this time." The option at this point is to click "OK." But when I do that I get the same message.
    I used Pacifist to replace the app from the OS installler I have on a USB flash drive and it seemed like everything went fine. There were no messages to think otherwise. After Pacifist replaced it I tried to launch it but got the same message I did before.
    With Pacifist you have the choice of either updating the app, or replacing the the app, and I chose "Replace." I wonder if the outcome would be different if I had chosen "Update," but having already replaced it I don't think updating will serve any purpose. I'll try that but in the meantime if anybody has any suggestions I will surely appreciate them. Thanks for any help you may give me.

  • How to download photo booth for mac

    ?

    Photo Booth is installed as part of the Mac OS and its related software. If it is not in your Dock, double-click your hard drive icon and open the folder "Applications." Photo Booth should appear there. You can click-drag its icon to the Dock if you prefer to have it quickly available.
    Lacking any further information about your Mac and what OS version it it running, that's about all I can offer.

  • How to increase/improve the resolution ?

    Hi there,
    I have this old video & I check the resolution is only something like 400 x 288. If i use it on my sequence (which is set at 1920 x 1080), it will be very blur.
    Any recommendation to increase/up/improve the old video to 1920 x 1080 ?
    Thanks

    There is nothing you can do.
    The video will always be of 400x288 quality so it doesn't rally matter how you enlarge it.
    You could try using the Brightness, Contrast and Sharpness controls to imprrove the appearance though they might make matters even worse.
    It's something you will have to try for yourself but you will probably find that it has been a waste of time.

  • How to increase the image resolution dpi

    Hi,
    I am new with JAI, I am trying to increase the resolution of an image from 96dpi to 200dpi.
    I founded "scale" operator, but this one resize affect only the with and the height of an image and the resolution remains unchanged.
    Could you help me, thanks.

    iPhoto has no way to do that. You'll need an external editor for the job. Not all have the capability. I know Photoshop has.
    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.

  • How to increase the PDF417 resolution

    Our PDF417 barcode is not as crisp as we want it.  Initial PDF output, the barcode will scan, but we do see minuscule white horizontal lines.
    We are producing the barcode via a tag using the Type = Barcode and Format = PDF417, Length = 31, scale = 1.  Font = PDF417 300dpi 12x16.
    We were asked to increase the ECCLevel, but I don't see a way to do that unless I ditch these features and use the CreatePDF417Barcode rule.
    Anybody have any thoughts?

    If you haven't done so already, you should review the Implementing PDF417 Barcodes manual - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E51709_01/pdf417.pdf
    The most reliable bar codes are produced when you use one of Documaker's standard print drivers (AFP, Xerox Metacode, PCL, or PostScript) to produce a print stream that is sent directly to the appropriate printer. Bar codes scanned directly from these printouts are more reliable when scanned because...
    • Documaker completely controls the print stream produced
    • The printouts are of high resolution (240 or 300 dots per inch)
    • Most AFP, Xerox Metacode, PCL, or PostScript printers are very reliable and consistent
    You lessen the reliability of scanned bar codes when you...
    • Produce bar codes in an alternate document format such as PDF, RTF, or HTML
    • Fax the bar code
    When printing a PDF file containing PDF417 barcodes, make sure you do not use any "fit to width" or page scaling options when printing in Adobe Reader/Acrobat or use similar options in your Windows print driver.
