How to Use Photo Booth on a Mac Photo Booth is an application for the Mac . You can take pictures and videos, as well as change the effects. Read on to learn how to use this incredible application.

Steps

1. Open Photo Booth. To do this, go to and type 'photo booth' in the search bar. You will see the Photo Booth application, and will see the following picture.

2. Take a picture. Go to the bottom left corner, and you will see a square. Click on the square. Now you can take a picture by clicking on the camera button. Photo Booth saves your photos as JPEG in a folder named Photo Booth, located in your home folder. Choose File > Reveal in to see your picture files.

• When you click on the camera button, there will be a three-second countdown before a picture is taken. You can change the effects if you want to make the picture interesting.

There are also effects that change the person in the picture using these effects: Bulge, Dent, Twirl, Squeeze, Mirror, Light Tunnel, Fish Eye, and Stretch.

3 Take a picture 4 times! If you click on the button that shows a window on the bottom left corner, and then you press the camera button, there will be a three second countdown and then 4 pictures will be taken in a row. This is perfect for quickly changing poses.

4 Record a video. Again, you can change the effects. But this time, you can put a different background for the video. Click on the effects, and click on the right arrow until you see the backgrounds. Examples of the backgrounds are: Earth rise, Clouds, and Rollercoaster. Record yourself singing along to a song, playing a guitar solo, etc. That feature of Photo Booth will definitely keep you busy
