IChat/Photo Booth "Green Screen" Effects not entirely working.
They kind of work, but it looks like I have lots of holes in me, and the background has some holes in it too.
Anyone else having this problem?
My Photo Booth effects all suck big time. In well lit areas wearing colors with a different color background, no matter what effect I use, all look horrible. I've tried all white background with dark clothing and vice versa with 100% crappy results. No other apps running. I have a MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Core 2 Duo with 3 GB RAM. Everything else runs fantastic. Photo Booth *****. I've tried it with several friends over iChat Video and it's not viewable at all. Been thru a dozen different lighting scenarios and as many clothing changes, nothing seems to help.
Anyone have any other suggestions ?

is there a way in lightroom to like erase the background. like selecting a certain color and replace it with another image? like a green screen effect? im asking for lightroom because the computers in the studio where i work uses that only from adobe
Lightroom does not support this type of image editing or anything remotely close to it, and I very much doubt that it ever will. I suggest that you have a look at Photoshop, which is also an Adobe product, and is capable of doing what you describe.

Green Screen Video not working audio working
Hey everyone I just installed imovie 09 and I'm having issues with the green screen effect. I know it's probably one button that I can't find, but never the less I need some help. I followed the instructions to the T to use the effect and I even made a green back drop. The problem is when I overlay that clip on top of the background clip the video goes bye bye, but I can still hear all the audio from the clip. Can someone help?
Have you turned on Advanced Tools in iMovie Preferences?
When you drag and drop your greenscreen footage onto your background video (or photo), do you get a pop-up contextual menu that lets you choose green screen? -
Is there a way to apply all adjustments to a clip when using green screen effects?
I use imovie '11 and I shoot a lot of videos using a green screen. Once I import my videos into imovie, I then place a background image into the project and then I drag the video clip over the background and select green screen. I usually then have to crop the clip so I am centered within the frame, and I also have to adjust the colors manually since sometimes with a greenscreen the colors can be a bit off.
My problem is this, how can I apply all video adjustments that I made to one clip, to all the other clips without having to do each one manually?
Currently when I crop a clip and edit the colors, then I copy it and go to paste adjustments, 'video' and 'video effect' are grayed out, however, it lets me do all the others. Does imovie not let you paste video effects to other clips that are in green screen mode? I tested it with two regular clips that are not in green screen mode and it works fine.As always there's a trick using copy and paste.
Once you got all the adjust correct on the first clip. Go to Edit > Copy. It's as though you were going to paste it back into the project, only now the trick is to highlight all the clips that also will need these same adjustmust (hold down the Command key, and just click on each one). Then go Edit > Paste Adjustments...>All. That wil apply each of the adjustments to the whole batch of video clips you had highlighted in the previous step. -
Hey guys, my photo booth preview screen started to show a black screen and when I try to take a picture, it counts down and my preview screen starts to show normally. So I can take picture normally. When I delete the Recent.plist file everything works fine but I don't want to lose the pictures in the strip. I tried to resetting SMC but no difference.

Photo Booth crashes when effects are applied
Hi,
Whenever I try to use Photo Booth and apply effects it quits/crashes.
It seems to work ok w/o any effects applied, though.
Any ideas? Thanks
Regards,
GitarzystaFrom What I've found.. it seems 3ivx or Perian could cause this problem. A friend had this issue and deleted 3ivx and it fixed his crashes. Alternatively, some folks are reporting that turning off 32-bit mode (Get Info) for Photobooth has also fixed, although this was already turned off in my friend's case.

Photo Booth~ Black Screen, Faulty/Broken/Missing Effects
Hi
Photo Booth was working fine when first use with new computer.
Now, when opened the [internal] iSight camera switches on (little green light) and the main image screen is black. Any photos that are taken appear as black. When selecting Effects Button 1, the effects display, but not correctly - they all use 25% of the space they are supposed to use and in Effects Button 2 - no effects show whatsoever.
I have tried deleting the plist. It is a system wide problem - all users have same difficulty.
Thanks in advance.

Photo Booth Comic Book Effect Problem
Hi...
Well I write this because I think I've got a problem with Photo Booth's comic book effect... Thing is that when I use this effect before the picture is taken it all looks good... but after I take the picture it looks horrible, like too white... not like a normal comic book effect pic (I've seen my friends' pictures using this effect and they look good) I've tried using "shift+enter" to prevent the screen from flashing but it doesn't change the bad quality of the effect...
Does anybody know why this is happening?Thank you for your response... but I've already thought about my clothes' color or background color or even light... if it's too bright or too dim... but nothing seems to fix the bad effect... I've tried bright light, not so bright, incandescent, fluorescent, light colored clothes, dark clothes! nothing helps, I've repaired permissions, I think I've even "uninstalled" photobooth and then got it back from the CD... it is just defective... I kinda hate this cause comic book effect is one of my favorites!... I wish someone else could help... I know I'm not the only one with this kind of prob cause I read this very same problem on yahoo answers...

Ichat/Photo Booth... Please Help!
I am having trouble with the backdrops that are now available for Photo Booth and ichat. When i add one of the new backdrops, they are all broken up. Part of my face gets covered by the animation, and bits and pieces of the wall behind me shows.
I step out of the frame like it says. The background behind me is simple and stationary. I can't figure out why this is happening!
Can anyone help? Please?Try to create a good "set" and the result will be a lot better.
If you have "backlight" your image will be hard to capture after you step in. Blocking this light source results in a dark image and large pixel blocks. The background should be lit indirect. Before you apply the effect have a look at the video feed on your display, make sure there's no light source in the background. The spot where you are going to step in after you've captured the background must be well lit from a source outside the frame like behind or next to the camera. No moving objects or images in the background and no camera movement during the take. The light level should constant and fixed so the focus is on you're movement.
Close all applications that you do not need to run during the take and try to reduce network traffic on your network when using life video chat.
You'll be surprised.
