Mirror image by Photo booth

Hi All
When I capture a photo from photo booth I got mirror image. Application re-install and OS re-installed.

iGlasses
Try before you buy if you want.
Works with several dozen apps (more of a System Add-On then an App Add-on)
Helps with this Text thing issue in iChat and Photo Booth.
Has several other features as well as Flip which can be a 90˚ thing if you camera is mounted sideways. (useful for the External iSight on a Mag mount on the side of the computer or hanging form a metal lampsahde)

Can you mirror image a photo in iphoto

Can you mirror image a photo in iphoto? Or is there another way it can be done?

You need to either set Preview as the external editor and then flip the photo using it tha tway or export the photo to the desktop, flip it and then import the new photos into iPhoto
You must NEVER make changes directly to the content of the iPhoto library using any program including previes

How do you flip (mirror image) a photo for transfer?

How do you flip (mirror image) a photo in I Photo for transfer--such a a tee shirt or card?

You don't in iPhoto. You can do it in Preview - it's called Flip Horizontally.

Exporting images from Photo Booth to iPhoto

Hello,
I recently took several pictures in Photo Booth and then tried to export them to iPhoto using the "Add to iPhoto" button. Only some of the pictures seem to have uploaded. I tried this several times and I believe this may be a bug. Can someone confirm this?
Things to note:
I highlighted all of the pictues I took in Photo Booth (there were 9 pictures total)
When I pressed the "Add to iPhoto" button, iPhoto was not currently open.
When iPhoto did open, it added 2 pictures in one trial and 4 pictures in another trial. So it did not add all 9 pictures
Everything worked ok when I added the photos once iPhoto was open.
Please let me know if you have the same issue.
Thanks,
Danny

That's more a photo booth query than an iPhoto one. I'd pop that over to the Using Mac OS X forum for your version of the OS.

When I take an image in Photo Booth, the flash is delayed so my resulting image is dark. Why is this?

I have checked that the flash function is on, and I have increased the brightness to maximum, none of which seem to rectify the situation. The flash seems delayed by a few milliseconds with the snapshot, so the image is the same as an image without flash. It there a way to synchronise the snapshot and the flash to the same instant?
I have noticed this change since I updated to OSX Mavericks.

Raw files always go straight to Photoshop without showing the "Open a copy" dialog. However:
SInce Photoshop CS5 uses an older version of Camera Raw compared to LR5, that older version isn't capable of interpreting all the settings that LR5 passes to it (normally LR sends the original raw file, plus the list of adjustments, over the Photoshop - and Photoshop renders the image using its own Camera Raw engine).
You would normally get a dialog indicating there is a Camera Raw version mismatch, giving you the options to "Render using Lightroom," or "Open anyway." You want to Render Using Lightroom.
you may have turned this dialog off - there's a checkbox that says "Don't show again." You can restore the display of this dialog box by going into Lightroom's preferences in the General tab, and choosing "Reset all warning dialogs."
here's a handy document from Victoria Bampton that explains raw rendering and camera raw version mismatch:

Photo booth mirror-not what you think

when i use the mirror effect on photo booth, it mirrors the left side of the view (you have two left hands) is there anyway to get it to mirror your right side?

Hello again, mr.merino
Another idea that may be of interest to you...
If you are only trying to make one (or a few) of the reverse mirror images you post about, and if you are not interested in learning and writing Quartz compositions, you can take the "easy" approach and use a mirror.
Here is how I did what you ask about in Photo Booth without programming. No "Edit > Flip Photo" menu item was applied in any of the following images.
(1) As a reference, I show this normal Photo Booth image of a left hand pointing left.
(2) This image uses the "Mirror" effect on the same hand pointing the same way.
(3) To mirror the right side instead of the left side, I selected the Photo Booth "Mirror" effect to make another mirror image. However, this time, I placed a mirror in front of the iSight and positioned the hand behind the iSight. By adjusting the positions of the mirror and the subject (hand) while I watched in the Photo Booth viewing window, I was able to obtain this image.
We await your response. Please confirm that the kind of left/right reversal between items (2) and (3) is what you are trying to accomplish.

Photo Booth Cropping Image

I have a early 2009 iMac and use Photo Booth frequently. I noticed something recently that has been bothering me. Photos taken in Photo Booth are 1280x853. It seems that Photo Booth is cropping a 1280x1024 image, and I wanted to know why and if it is possible to stop it. I know that the iSight is capturing more on the top and bottom of the image than Photo Booth displays/captures. I can see the full image when I use Quicktime or see my video feed in skype.

Normal behavior. Same happening here.
Lee Keller wrote: .. I wanted to know why ...
I couldn't find an Apple explanation of why, but my guess is that it must be how the software is written in conjunction with your iSight's native (maximum) resolution. (As in-built camera resolution and Mac OS X software and apps have changed over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD." Each of these cameras may behave slightly differently in some applications.)

I don't know any way.
If you like, you can send suggestions about this directly to Apple via Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback for their consideration in future Photo Booth product development.

With the latest iPhoto software is it possible to 'flip' an image or as some say do a 'mirror image' of the photo?

With the latest iPhoto software is it possible to 'flip' an image or as some say 'mirror image' a photo, meaning to change it from left to right to right to left, or vice-versa.
thanks

No - but with preview (included on your Mac) you can and you can set Preview as the external editor for iPhoto - so I guess you can with the latest or any version of iPhoto

I can't use Photobooth - when I open the app, I get the message: "Photo Booth couldn't save your photos - Photo Both encountered an error when trying to save your photos. You photos cannot be saved at this time."

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box markedAllow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Photo booth & imovie

Is there a way to get video images from photo booth to imovie,i put a video image from p b on my desktop and dragged it into my project in imovie but it would not stay.

Did you move any of those applications? A question mark in the Dock means that the original application cannot be found. You've either moved or deleted them. Try to do a Spotlight search for each to see if you can find them.

Photo Booth and Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000

I had this working in Tiger 10.4.10 and I can get the camera to do video in iChat but not in photo booth (or iMovie). It just says camera off.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Jon

I have a similar problem with my Creative Live! Video IM Pro. (VF0410). It is a UVC camera, and it works in iChat, but displays a very messed up image in Photo Booth and QuickTime Pro. This is on my PowerMac G4, running 10.5 (I just bought the camera, so I never tested it under Tiger)

Why does Photo Booth provide 'mirror' images?

I took a number of pictures of my friends with Photo Booth and realised that something was wrong. When I looked closer I noticed that all the photos had been reversed and were in fact mirror images of the actual person. Why is this? I had to use the "Flip Photo" command to make them normal. I would suppose this is how the original iSight works as well although I have never tried it.
Then I noticed that there is an "Auto flip all photos" command, which of course is what I choose. But it is beyond me why this is not the default in the first place.
When you use a camera with a timer on it to take your picture, it does not give you a mirror image, it provides you with the true image. iSight should also IMHO.
Griff

It's because it's more natural for people to see themselves in a mirror while getting ready for the picture. Thus if they lift their right hand the hand on the right side of the screen would appear to rise. If the picture suddenly flipped after taking the picture, this could be confusing, which is why it isn't the default, but simply an option.

Photo Booth Captures Mirror Image

I love using the Photo Booth application to record quick videos and take photos. However all videos and photos taken in my Photo Booth display backwards - they are mirror images of reality. In other words, if I hold up a sign that says HELLO, in the displayed image, it reads OLLEH. Is there a way to fix this?

Hi tonyakay13: Try this: With Photo Booth running go to the Edit menu, select "Auto flip new photos". You may have to do something similar in your movie program.

How to reverse photos? photo booth needs reversing, it is a mirror image.

The photobooth pictures are mirror images. Most photo/picture software offers a "reverse image" as well as "rotate" choices, but I cannot find a way to do this in iphoto or photobooth. Is it possible?

This is what we are asking for in iPhoto, not flipping, MIRRORING!!!
This was done in Microsoft Photo Editor. Thanks. The click photo while holding down contorl is supposed to give one the mirror option in iPhoto, although,... I can't get it to work.
It should not be this complicated,...come on Apple!!!

IChat and Photo Booth mirror the video?

Video chatting with my parents I noticed, that their faces are mirrored, either in their video preview and on my computer. They have got an iMac 2Ghz Intel Core 2 duo and 10.5.6. Their built in camera does not take videos or photos in Photo Booth or iChat as regular cameras do, but they mirror the picture. I am now sitting at their computer, trying to solve the problem, but I could not find any settings to change this. In Photo Booth I can choose "Neue Fotos automatisch spiegeln", in english probably "automatically mirror new photos" (or something similar), but this does not help for iChat.
Has any of you have an idea?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Photobooth and iChat show the Pics as you would see them in a Mirror.
It is not a problem.
It is the way that are designed.
The Buddy at the other end in iChat see things correctly.
The effect is something like standing in front of a Drinking establishment with a mirror behind the Bar that you can see whilst your Buddy is facing you.
Hence you make a move to indicate to your right an the mirror image follows your action on the same side. Your Buddy see things as the friend at the bar would.
It is not a "Problem" so there is no "Fix"
However the add-on iGlasess can Flip the pic if you want amongst other things it can do.
