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.

    the link above is where i downloaded the effects but im not sure how to uninstall them and it doesnt say on the website. When go find it in Finder it says More Ichat Effects Uninstaller and i pressed it but it brings up like Terminal ( i think its some application) and i dont know where to go from there and most of the other effects work but the dark ones dont. Also i tried turning flash off and it doesnt help.

    According to the developer's website:
      http://ismileys.free.fr/moreichateffects/support/
    ".... you can launch iChat and Photobooth in 32 bits only..."
    If that does not help you, try uninstalling MoreIchatEffects. I do not use MoreIchatEffects, but, again, according to the developer's website,
      http://ismileys.free.fr/moreichateffects/
    "If you want to remove all effects, run the installer or remove files in /Library/Compositions"
    (1) In addition to the extra effects, it appears that the MoreIchatEffects installer adds an uninstaller application that you say looks like Terminal. You should be able to run the MoreIchatEffects Uninstaller application by merely double-clicking its iCon and following any on-screen instructions.
    If you need more help with how to run the Uninstaller than you can find from MoreIchatEffects> Help, you can contact the developer for assistance using the information from this page:
      http://ismileys.free.fr/contact.html
    Based on the "... check the number of your effects. If it isn't a multiple of 8, it will crash always." comment on that page, you may also want to count the number of effects in your Mac's Library/Compositions folder to be sure that is not your problem. If you need help finding the effects files you are to count, see the next paragraph of this post.
    (2) If you cannot make the uninstaller work, note that the "Library/Compositions folder" that contains the effects files you can manually delete is the one in your Mac's startup drive Library/Preferences folder. Look in the "Compositions" folder there.
    Do NOT remove any files from either the Library folder in your Mac's System folder
    or from the Library folder in your ~ (Home) folder.
    (3) If you cannot make either method above work for you, you can use your Time Machine backup from a date prior to the time you installed MoreIchatEffects. For help, see:
      http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/15638.html
    (4) If all else fails, your Apple-Authorized Service Provider can help.

  • When exporting photo to my pictures folder it shows up as a soft color & no photo..Please help

    When exporting my edited pictures to a folder in m Pictures it goes as a blank soft color but no photo. It looks like a tiny dot and when you open it, it is a soft color.. Please help!

    I am trying to send as attachement. I have tried to screen shot but must not have a clue how to!  Is there a number someone can walk me through this.. or if you could tell me how to screen shot it. I am trying the print screen but not working. I have never done on  a computer before. My system is Dell Pentium Dual Core [email protected]   4.00GB  64 Bit Windows Vista. I tried to download a trial of LR4 so I could get some work done until prob fixed but it tells me my system not compatible. I am thinking of creative cloud but will this work with my system. I use LR for 100% of my editing but have been doing other things (newborns) where I feel I need CS6. If you could let me know what I need to do to run the new LR and CS6 that would be great. (Really need a computer class)! Thanks

    Hello purpleroses68
    To download any photos that were on your My Photos Stream, then you will need to have Photo Streamed turned on within your computer. Keep in mind that My Photos Stream only holds the last 30 days of photos and those will be the only one that will download. Check out the articles below for more information for the process and general information about getting your photos downloaded.
    Archive or make copies of your iCloud data

    Albums is a way or sorting photos. Photos aren't moved from the Camera roll. The Camera Roll consists of all the photos on the phone. If you delete from Camera Roll they are deleted everywhere but Photo Stream.
    Are you using Photo Stream? Your photos, providing they wer recent should still be in Photo Stream. If you have Photo Stream set up on your computer they should all be there.

  • Why apple doesn't allow the users just to add more photos from our pcs instead of requiring us to re-sync the existing albums? I can't sync additional photos cause I have my pc  reformatted. =( is there any other way to add these photos? please help me.

    I can't sync additional photos cause I have my pc  reformatted. =( is there any other way to add these photos? please help me. these existing photos are very important to me. ='((

    Apple has not saidwhy they did it that way and it is against the terms of this forum to speculate on the reasons. It says not to:
    "Discussions of Apple policies or procedures or speculation on Apple decisions."
    The are third-party programs like TouchCopy that I think will allow you to do what you want.  You can import photos via DropBox.  The third-party programs will I know allow you to transfer the photos to your "new" computer.

  • 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 ?

  • IChat & Photo Booth

    I just watched a tutorial on using the video for iChat.
    It shows using video backgrounds, like Clouds, Color Dots, Earthrise, Eiffel Tower, Fish,
    Rollercoaster, Sunset & Yosemite. I don't see any of these to choose from either in iChat
    or Photo Booth. Where are these files?
    Any Help
    Thanks

  • I want to delete my current exchange account. How can I achieve this and not lose stored information such as contacts, photos etc. please help. Thank you.

    I want to delete my current exchange account and replace it with my new one. How can I achieve this and not lose my contacts, photos, etc associated with this account? Please help..
    Thank you,

    Bad idea.
    What information do you want to share, exactly?  You can share contacts, reminders, and calendars with other iCloud users without the need for both of you to use the same iCloud account.  You can authorize both phones to use apps purchased under the same Apple ID without sharing an iCloud account.
    Sharing an iCloud account is a bad idea in general. There is too much opportunity for someone to damage or delete data that will affect both.

  • I can't drag and drop user backdrops into Photo Booth.  Help!

    Hi there...just this past Monday I bought my first Macbook Pro, and I'm having a little trouble with Photo Booth.  I know it's supposed to be easy to drag and drop into the User Backdrop 1, etc, but for some reason I've tried different files and they will not add into the boxes.
    So far I've tried adding shots from safari, both by dragging and by saving the image to my desktop.  I've also tried to add photos from my iPhoto but to no avail.
    If someone can give me some help I'd really appreciate it.  I've been searching online for the better part of an hour and it doesn't seem like this is a common problem.
    Thanks!

    Ok so I figured it out! 
    It was really quite a simple fix, and I feel ashamed that I couldn't come to this conclusion earlier.
    Anyway, for anyone else having this issue, it was because I had Photo Booth in full screen mode.  As soon as I got out of that, I was able to add pictures to my user backdrops without a problem.
    Super simple. 
    I hope it helps someone out there.

  • 8 months of photos lost --  PLEASE help

    Last night when I opened up iPhoto, all my photos since 10/30/2006 are gone. I read to try deleting the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file, but this didn't work.
    Where could these pictures have gone? And why just this chunk of pics after 10/30/2006?. Please help, as there are a LOT of shots than were taken from Nov 2006 to present.
    P.S. I just realized this is being posted in the iPhoto 6 forum. I am using iPhoto 5 though...

    rmcfall:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. No, I don't think you've lost your image files. Look inside the iPhoto Library/Originals folder and you should find them all in subfolders representing the rolls in the library.
    Since the rebuild didn't restore the library you'll have to create a new library and import the original files from the old one as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the rolls from the original.
    Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    This will create a new library with the same rolls as the original library. However dates on the rolls may be different but can be edited as you would the roll title.
    Once this is completed you can delete the Originals folder from the desktop and the iPhoto Llibrary folder. If desired, you can keep the older library folder to try other fixes on it.
    In the future I recommend you make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto file after each import and after doing a lot of editing and organizing in the library. Then if you experience a similar crash all you need to do is replace the damaged database file with the backup copy and you'll be back to the same place in the library as when you make the backup. See the tip at the end of my signature.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • An app called "Secret Files X" corrupted my files. I can't open/move my photos. Please help.

    I downloaded an app called "Secret Files X" in order to keep some of my photos private. The app wanted me to "Add Volume to Management" and I did what it had asked for. (I didn't know what this meant and I still don't know.) Now, I can't open or move any of the photos that I wanted the app to hide. I even uninstalled the app but the files are still unmanageable. Please help, the photos were very important to me.
