Why is the back drop in photo booth so choppy?

i.e when using the Paris back drop, half of my livingroom is visible and myself is also choppy. What am I doing wrong?

I stepped out of the screen, the back ground is white even though it looks beige. I took pictures with me out of the screen but then how do I get myself into the shot. I must be doing something not right. But thanks for all the above mentioned suggestions.

  • Why are the additional effects on Photo Booth not working?

    I upgraded my OS to Mountain Lion a few hours ago and I tried out the Photo Booth and found out that the first page of effects (the new ones) were not working. Is there any way to fix this?

    Maybe this will help:

    Why does the top button always brake why as my screen decided to pop off why is the back of my case bending when I have never dropped it why dose this shity phone keep sending text messages as picture messages this is the worst phone av ever had!!

    I know a lot of people with iphone 5 and have never heard them complain about top button always brake and screen that decides to pop off or the back of their case is bending.
    That sounds like a phone that has been dropped a numerous times.

  • Why, with the same number of photos in both places, do I still have 25 GB of storage on my iPad and have to BUY more space in iCloud?

    Why, with the same number of photos on my iPad and supposedly in iCloud, do I still have over 25 GB of space on my iPad but now need to buy even more storage space in iCloud? My iPad is 64 GB and I am now paying for 20 GB of iCloud storage with 864 MB left!

    As I said: 
    Even if the Photos are less than 20GB,  There's other stuff on the iPhone that is likely getting backed up to iCloud and using space. Basically your Phone has more space to spare than iCloud.
    You can check in Settings->iCloud->Storage->Manage Storage to see what is using up the space in iCloud.
    Anyway, turning off Photo stream will remove all photos from iCloud, it will not remove them from the iPad if they were taken with it, or copied to it.
    Again I suggest you check in:Settings->iCloud->Storage->Manage Storage to see what else is using your iCloud space.

  • Why is the back of my 4G iPhone  puffed up?

    Why is the back of my 4G puffed up? 

    We would need to see photos of what you mean exactly, but my guess would be an issue with the battery.
    I would take the phone to an Apple store IMMEDIATELY as batteries can explode.

  • Text on the back of printed photos

    Can text be added to the back of printed photos when using Apple's photo printing service.

    No. That's not offered by Apple's photo finishers.

  • Why do the titles under my photos not go when I send them to a flash drive?

    Why do the titles under my photos in iphoto not go with the pictures when I send them to a flash drive?  Is it not supposed to ot am I doing something wrong?  It does it just fine with windows: I am new with Apple.

    If you want the title to be the new file name export with the option to use the title as the new file name see highlight to far left:
    If you want the title to be inluded with the file so another photo application can read that title like iPhoto would use the option to include Title and Keywords. But this method will require an applicaiton that can read the iPTC fields that will contain the title.

  • Why does the back arrow just reload the same page most of the time

    why does the back arrow just reload the same page most of the time
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == most of the time since I installed it

    Hi Keith.
    This is probably a normal behavior that's induced by the way pages are done. Can you provide a link to a page where this happens?
    For example, wikipedia articles often have links that lead to sections of the article and not to actually different pages, as you may know. If you click the Back button, Firefox will lead you to the section of the page you were looking at when you clicked that link. Is this perhaps what you're talking about?
    AJAX pages (i.e. pages that take advantage of heavy duty javascript code and server side technologies) often have troubles like these. It's very hard to prevent this from happening from the browsers' point of view, but Mozilla is trying to find a way for Firefox 4 (at least like time I checked they were). So using the back and forth buttons in gmail will probably be troublesome.

  • I lost my macbook pro and i just got a new one. how can i retrieve the pictures taken with photo booth(old laptop) to my new laptop?

    i lost my macbook pro and i just got a new one. how can i retrieve the pictures taken with photo booth(old laptop) to my new laptop?

    Well if you don't have the laptop to get the storage drive out of it, and you don't have any previous backups how do you expect to get the photo's?
    PhotoBooth is just a program, it stores the files on the computers storage drive, if the computer is lost so are your photo's.
    There is nothing you can do to delete or retrieve them using your new computer unless you stored them online someplace.
    DId you save them online? iDisk or something else?
    I don't use such services because my data is mine and not theirs to snoop through, so if your looking for that sort of help I can't assist you any.

  • Dropped ipad.  All Photos now look like the thermal camera in photo booth app.  Any Fix?

    My sister dropped her ipad.  All photos now look like thermal camera photo in  Photo Booth App.  Any fix?

    I think this is unlikely to work, but have her check Settings>General>Accessibility>Invert Colors>Off. It's hard to imagine that her dropping the iPad would cause a setting to change on it's own, but it's worth a look anyway.
    If it wasn't that setting, have her reset her iPad and see if that fixes it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't help, then she could try restoring the iPad, and if that fails, a trip to an Apple store would be in order.

  • How to merge the contents of two Photo Booths?

    Hello.  We have two Macbooks (Old + Existing).  Both are/were updated to Maverick.  However, I have restored the Old Macbook back to original (Snow Leopard) in order to sell.  I manually took off files as well as doing a Time Machine backup. 
    I would like to add all the photos and videos from Photo Booth on the Old Macbook into my Existing Macbook.
    Is this possible either a. through a specific file in Time Machine (I do NOT wish to replace the Existing with the Old.  This is a merger.) or b. with the Photo Booth library I copied onto an external harddrive?  However, this is one 1.75gb file with the Photo Booth icon (a film strip) rather than separate photo files.  I am unsure how to access individual photographs or videos.  I was hesitant to open it up in case it negatively affected the Existing Photo Booth.
    Thanks for any assistance.

    Great, I just lost 10 GB of data thanks to OSX folder merge... because appaerantly I should have known better not to keep a subfolder inside my folder I was trying to merge
    I can not beleive more people don't have a problem with this. Merge contents in Lion does NOT merge contents if 1 or more of those supposed "contents" is a subfolder
    Merge contents of two folders only works for files, it does NOT work for subfolders!!!!
    Can we please get this acknowledged as a bug that needs fixing?
    EXAMPLE:
    Drive1 / Folder1
                   - text1.txt
                   - text2.txt
                   - / subfolder / text3.text
    MERGE TO
    Drive2 / Folder1
                   - text1.txt  (this gets updated / merged)
                   - text2.txt  (this gets updated / merged)
                   - / subfolder /
                             - text.txt
                             - text2.txt     (this should get text3.txt merged into it, from Drive1, but instead this subfolder is REPLACED, and NOT MERGED!!)
    Why would i want to replace a folder if I'm trying to merge it!?
    Almost 2013 and OSX still cant merge a folder? unbelievable

  • Why does the size of my photos reduce to 0mb after editing in iPhoto?

    Please bear with me here.  I am a new Mac user (MacBook Pro, 2008, OSX 10.7.5), as well as not the most technologically competent person in the world, so I might need a little patience and additional questions to help me understand everything! 
    After a recent trip to Europe, I imported photos that I had taken with two different cameras into iPhoto ('09, version 8.1.2).  All the photos that I took with my Canon Rebel t2i DSLR have not had the problem I'm about to describe, in the past or with photos from this trip.  The problem has been only from pictures that I took and uploaded from my husband's Nikon Coolpix L610 point and shoot.  Not sure if this will matter, but the mode I was shooting in was 16M (4608x3456) which appears to be the "best" quality for this camera. 
    As I was going through my photos and editing them (mostly minor edits, cropping, straightening, enhancing, altering the sharpness/exposure/definition/saturation), I noticed the size of my photos decreasing, as described in the information box in the lower left hand corner of the screen.  With at least 30+ pictures of the ones I have tried editing (this isn't counting the hundreds more that I have yet to start editing), the file size dropped to 0MB, some after one edit as simple as straightening, others taking 2 or more minor edits to drop to 0.  The picture is still there in the multiphoto view (in Photos section under Library), but if I try to click on the picture to view it larger, it just shows up as a black screen.   
    For example, one picture I have showed a size of 4608 x 3456 and 7.6 MB.  When I did one edit (enhance photo), the 4608 x 3456 stayed the same, but the 7.6MB changed to 0KB.  For others, it will decrease some with one edit, then drop down to 0 if I do additional edits.  Most of my pictures are in the 4-10MB range in their original form (no edits).  I'm assuming that I was shooting in jpeg mode, since that's what they uploaded as.  (I've read on here of other people shooting in RAW mode and such, but I don't even think this camera has that capability).  I read some other boards with similar questions, but not the exact same problem as I'm facing.  I know that there is "jpeg compression" with jpeg files when editing. 
    So I guess my question is this:  Is there anything I can do to stop this reduction down to 0?  I will only be printing out a few of these pictures, and most in a 4x6 or 5x7 size.  I'm more concerned with being able to post them to Facebook for my family, who lives far away.  When the file size is 0KB, it won't upload because it doesn't even register as there being a picture and if I try it anyway, it gives me an error message, something along the lines of not supporting this format (or something similar, has been a couple days since I last tried). 
    I read something one of the similar boards that mentioned saving the edited photos as TIFF files, but it also mentioned that that takes up a lot more disk space, which I'm not sure if I want to (or have the space to) do.  (Side question:  If I did check the box in Preferences --->Advanced "Save edits as 16-bit TIFF files, would that do that to every picture in my library that I have edited?)
    As I said, I'm new to this whole Mac stuff (been using it for just under a year, given to me by my brother-in-law after my computer died), so please use as much layman lingo as possible!  And thank you in advance for anyone that can give me any insight and/or advice! 

    None of my pictures that I uploaded into iPhoto are in my Finder under Pictures.  Should I copy and paste my folders from iPhoto into here, in case something happens to my iPhoto program (in addition to backing them up onto an external hard drive like I already do)?
    No, that's just wasting space.  A back up needs to be on a different disk.
    Your photos are within the iPhoto Library.

  • Is there a way to get the full version of photo booth onto my iPad?

    Basically, I'm trying to get the features that came with the Photo Booth on my iMac onto my iPad. Mainly the background drop-in effect. Does anyone know if that's possible and how I could manage that?

    As lllaass said, you can't.
    If you want Apple to add backgrounds to the iPad version, leave them feedback: http://apple.com/feedback/ipad.html.

  • Why does the iTunes not show "Photos"

    Why does the new iTunes not show "Photos" after it is synced, and why does iCloud not show Photos also?

    Ralph9430 offers a good suggestion.  But you may need to do this before taking his advice:
    Check in iPhoto's Preferences (which you can open from the iPhoto menu).  Look in General, and make sure "Connecting Camera Opens" is set to "Image Capture").
    If it is set to "iPhoto", you won't be able to get to Image Capture easily.
