Photo Booth head tilted effects problem

If you go on photo booth, go to chimpmunk effect or something, tilt your head, the effect won't work why is this

Well, the effects windows are like 9 per page, so the computer is doing a lot of work. My Core Duo hits like 60%+ CPU usage. I wouldn't say I have a 2 second delay, thats a little long, but it itsn't realtime smooth either. Max the RAM is all I can suggest. Thats an intensive program to try and render 9 windows with different filters in realtime.
Thats just the reality of PhotoBooth and a single core CPU. You can get another 1GB in that puppy, I'd suggest you get some more.

  • 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...

  • 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,
    Gitarzysta

    From 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.

  • 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 ?

  • Photo Booth Comic Book effect weirdness.

    When I use the Comic book effect in Photo Booth, the black lines turn white in the saved image.
    The effect displays properly live and saves properly when taking video, but when taking a picture, black lines turn white. Black dot tone stays black and actually black objects remain black, but linework created by the effect saves as white.
    Any clues?

  • Photo Booth issues ie - Effects

    I have owned my iMac since December and had no problems until I took the last version of Leopard V10.5.2 One issue I have is with Photo Booth. It pertains to the effect section, which is the third option after clicking the effect button. I click on one of the background effects, move out of the way like it says and when I move back into the camera view, I can see myself, the background effect and black spots, which happens to be what is behind me. I move around and the black or what I call black holes, they move with me. it is like, this function does not work at all, when it once did. I hardly use photo booth, but I paid a lot of money for a product that is only a few months old, I just want it to work. Could someone offer some help or point me in the right direction? Thanks

  • Photo Booth - Roller Coaster effect conceptual flaw

    (Note to admin: how about an "Other" category under "Applications" where we can put issues like this?)
    The design of the Roller Coaster effect needs to be changed. When playing the recorded movie, it appears that I am riding the roller coaster facing backwards! This is absolutely ludicrous! If I'm riding a roller coaster, the "camera" should be in front of me, facing backwards. Thus, the roller coaster tracks in the effect should be moving away from the camera, not towards it.

    I can see by your several recent posts that you have suggestions for changes to
    Photo Booth's design and "effects."

  • Photo Booth - Custom Sound Effect?

    Is there any way I can set Photo Booth to play a custom sound effect each time a photo is taken rather than the default shutter sound?
    Thanks!

    Work with a COPY of Photo Booth.app so that you can revert to the original behavior if you don't like the results.
    Under Leopard, it's a simple matter of digging into Photo Booth.app and replacing the shutter sound-- /Applications/Photo Booth.app/Contents/Resources/photo_shutter.aiff -- with another short AIFF of the same name and in the same format (8 bit, mono, 8 KHz).
    Replace photo_shutter.aiff with any sound you choose. You do have to give it the same name so that the program can find it.
    Snow Leopard has tightened up code-signing. The above modification will probably break the app under SL, though it does work under Leopard.

  • Photo booth, imovie and iphoto problem

    photo booth, imovie and iphoto are not working in my macbook pro. when i try to open one of these apps a question mark appears and i can not open any of them.

    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.

  • IPad photo booth -- is "colored pencil" effect available?

    I like the "colored pencil" effect that is available on the Mac version of Photo Booth.
    That effect does not seem to be available on the iPad2. 
    Is it possible to get the "colored pencil" effect when using the iPad version of Photo Booth? 
    Thanks in advance!  I tried searching the forum but didn't find any prior discussions of this...
    -Tom H.

    Thanks Allan. 
    I was hoping there was a setting I had overlooked, or an app to download, or something.  C'est la vie.
    Thanks for the help.

  • No ichat or photo booth video visible.

    So I have been avidly using ichat and photo booth since friday. and today when i tried, (photo booth first) nothing showed up for my video. The built in light was on, saying the camera was connected, but all was black on photo booth. All effects showed no example of what they would look like. The attached link is a screen shot of my photo booth effects. The same issue is present with ichat as well.

    Hi ALex,
    Go to the System Profiler.
    Open the reveal triangles to Hardware > USB and see if the camera is recognised ?
