Photo Booth Backdrop Effects Not Working Properly

Special Effects and Distortion Effects work but Backdrop Effects (Clouds, Color Dots, Earthrise, Eiffel Tower, Fish, Rollercoaster, Sunset, Yosemite)
doesn't. It would ask me to step out of the frame and I do, then I get Background Detected and I step in the frame but here's the problem. The backdrop doesn't show correctly. Say I choose 'Eiffel Tower' I can't see the whole backdrop just some of it because my actual background (wall) interferes, in other words I can see both my wall and the backdrop. How can I fix this?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean

Eye Dropper tool in After Effects Not working Properly

I am using Adobe After Effects CS5 on a mac. And most all of the eyedropper tools in the software are not working properly. They always select a way different color than it should be. What is wrong?
One day they just all decided to not work. Its really frustrating. Its been a few weeks now.

Well, For some strange reason its working just fine today. I did restart my computer yesterday and after that it seems to be working.
I haven't recenitly messed with my hardware acceleration/graphics card or monitor color profile. So if that was it, then it did it on its own.
None the less its working now. Thank you for your help!!!

Can you help? photo booth effect not working properly.

The pop art effect is no longer working on my mom's G5. It only shows a pic in the upper left rahter than the four it used to show: upper left, upper right, lower left and lower right.

parp,
You don't mention which model of G5 your mother has.
However, you need to install a "fresh" copy of the Photo Booth application from the install DVD or a working copy from another machine.
Mine POP ART effect stopped working like you mentioned with only the one photo in the upper left. I deleted that copy of the Photo Booth application and installed a fresh one. Now all 4 or the photos are showing.

"Ken Burns effect" not working properly

Whenever I try to add a still photo to an iMovie 6 project, i get an error chirp and then nothing ends up in the timeline. Often, if I turn off the ken Burns Effect, it imports fine.
Do I need to reinstall? If so, won't that mess up the iLife '09 software already installed? And will it mean that I have to reinstall all my Slick Effects?
Anybody know the answers to these questions?
Thanks in advance.

As Rich839 writes.
My list in another way of putting it
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
iMovie pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. *com.apple.iMovie.plist *
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Garageband-fix. Start it, Play a note and Close it. Re-try (Corrects an audio problem that hinders iMovie)
• Screen must be set to Million-colors
• Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09)
iMovie updated ?
QuickTime updated ?
Mac OS version ?
• Program miss-match. iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
• Program miss-match. iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iMovie’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
From LKN 1935. (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

Unable to share pictures with Photo Booth Facebook option not working.

So when I try to share pictures by clicking on the Facebook option on Photo Booth, nothing happens. I tried every other option and they all work except for the Facebook one.
I tried to quit every other application and just leave Photo Booth opened, same result.
I deleted the plist file for Facebook...

It appears LR is not getting access to the Drive/Folder where the original file is located. (/volumes/Media Disk/Pictures....)? were the original files copied to a hard drive?

Flip effect not working properly

Hello Friends,
I am just a beginner in flex. Sorry for asking such a silly question. In the below code I am trying to make a Flip effect using Alex Uhlmann's libraries. When I click on the Datagrid, its not flipping properly. (When the table flips the red colored canvas is supposed to be on the other side of the datagrid. But it just stays in the background). I am missing something in my code. I very much appreciate your help

Photo booth video recording not working

I was recording a video with photo booth and while it was recording it was showing that the record button was on and that it was recording. But when i went to view it had only recorded 30 seconds of it. I didnt change the screen or touch the computer. Someone help please.
oh and right before it had been working fine...

HI,
Try deleting this file.
com.apple.PhotoBooth.plist

Move that fileo to the Trash and restart your Mac.

Leopard Video Effects Not Working Properly

When ever I have a video conference and try to use a video backdrop the picture becomes very flaky, with parts of my me being covered up by the back drop and random parts of the back drop not working. I think I'm doing everything right but it still isn't working right.
Thanks,
David

I have that same problem too. I called up Applecare and was on the phone with them for at least and hour and they couldn't fix it either. They said that everyone is having this problem. I was at the Apple Store today for my ProCare Appointment and the creative told me that it does the same thing on all the computers in the store. Its such advanced technology that it need a nice clean background. There is a way to get it to work if you have a plain white background and I have yet to try it out. I am positive that apple will fix this through a software update in the future.
The support agent on the phone said this might help too:

Photo booth video effects not recording after upgrade to Lion

I recently upgraded from s.leopard to Lion. Photobooth is working perfectly with the leopard until upgraded to lion, the video effects could not be used and recorded. It only appears in 1 sec when video recording.
I have done the following already according to the forums I read.
1. the 32 bit mode is not ticked.
2. disk utility permissions.
and still not working. Any advise? Thanks

The same Lion-problem here. Everything looks just fine until I press record. Then the effect dissappears. I bought my 28" "BigMac" in february this year, and as the problem is mentioned about a year ago, it might be a major problem since no solution is mentioned anywhere.
So, if you guys see or hear (or smell) anything in the direction of a solution, drop a note.

Crumble animation effect not working properly

Crumble effect is not working. Other effects seem fine. Tried moving the one slide to a new presentation. Tried changing speed. I've rebooted. Can't locate any pref files to remove. I'm using it on a .png object I made in photoshop. Hmm. maybe I'll convert to .jpg and see what happens.
Using Keynote 6.2
OS X 10.9.4
Mac Mini 2.7 core i7
16gb ram

Crumble effect works perfectly with me.
You are aware that crumble is a build out effect? Therefore it removes an image from the screen using the effect.

IChat, Photo Booth, FaceTime camera not working

Upgraded to Lion, waited for the update.01. Camera is not working in any program. Tryed the SMU reset with no effect.

Hi,
You list two machines in your specs that are not Intel Macs and do not list a computer that can run Lion.
Does the camera appear in System Profiler (Hardware > USB) ?
Is Blue Tooth On ?
Any other potential USB internally connected item that may be drawing too much power ?
Any External USB device that is Unpowered ?
Try the equivilant of the Firewire Port reset.
Unplug all external devices.
Power down for 15 minutes using Shut Down (Unplug Power as well if Laptop)
Start up with no external devices.
Try Camera (App).
Start adding back external devices.

CS6 - Render Lightning Effects not working properly. :(

Hello, i am having problem on Photoshop CS6 *yes, it is Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0.1 (13.0.1 20120808.r.519 2012/08/08:21:00:00) x64*. I am having problem with Render > Lightning Effects which are not rendering properly. Well, it shows me different, than I am getting it in final.
Here you can take a look:
Image before : http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/7003/dwm2012090722362755.jpg
Image inside Render > Lightning Effects : http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/8977/dwm2012090722370166.jpg
And, what i get : http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/353/dwm2012090722370807.jpg
I am really sorry for my bad english, becouse, I am Latvian ^_^

Well, it's just gradient with Texturiser Filter on it.
So, i tried to make diference more visible.
I have 3 images again, where you can see...
So, first image, as it shows me in Render > Lightning Effect, this is my ideal variant:
Well, second one is, when i click OK while loading and taking screenshot while cursor is on *loading*
And third one, after it's done loading, well not result what i expected...
And, i tried recreating same lightning as yours, but same results, whole image is iluminated
Starting to think, maybe something wrong with my Photoshop?

Photobooth Effects not working properly

I'm having an issue with Photobooth that is quite odd. When there aren't any effects turned on, Photobooth is fine. When I click on the effects buttons however, they are all screwed up. I can't even explain it, so I've included a link to a few screen shots.
Bear in mind that I'm sitting dead center of the camera. My iSight works fine in other apps, so I'm assuming that it's the effects plugins that are causing this problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
I would delete them.
They are placed in the Hard Drive/System/Library/Compositions folder.
Technically this is not good Practice as that should be for Apple's own stuff only and any Add-Ons should either go to Hard Drive/Library/Compositions for every Mac User to use or to Hard Drive/Users/(your account)/Library/Compositions for just you to use.
The second more important thing is that they are older style Quartz files and not compatible with the current Quartz/Quicktime management of Video.

Render lighting effects not working properly

I seem to be having a problem with the 'Render > Lighting Effects' feature. It works, but not the first time I use it. I can go in, set the controls how I'd like them, and click OK to apply. The effects will remain for about 5 to 10 seconds, and then it will revert to the image I had before the lighting effects were applied. If I repeat the process a second time, the effects will remain in place.
I'm using CS6 via Adobe Creative Suite on a Windows 7 operating system. Any ideas?

Don't really understand what you are saying.
Without the ability to change the size of the oval the lighting effect will always be the same size. How can I get the buttons to appear? I have just watched several video tutorial on the lighting effects in CS6 and the buttons were showing in all of these and it was demonstrated how to change the size of the effect by using them.

Photo Booth screen is not working
