Advertisement Every Mac that comes with an iSight is loaded with. When I was Mac-less, I used to frequent Apple stores and somehow Photo Booth seemed to appeal to me then. Sadly, after I bought a Mac for myself, the attraction didn’t last very long and later, I sort of forgot about this nifty application which attracted me in the first place. To bring back the romance, I went on a search to see if I could add more effects to Photo Booth. There were only a few interesting pre-packaged ones and most of them had something to do with image distortion (squeeze, bulge, dent, mirror etc.). That was fun for a while but I need the “Wow” factor back desperately.
In my search, I managed to uncover a few sites that offer a good collection of free Photo Booth effects. From B-L-A-C-K-O-P, I found, which is a collection of 5 sets of effects. Each set has its own theme:• RetroPixels – adaptation of 60’s and 70’s video effects. • Love For 80s – bringing back Space Invaders, Pong and VHS (yes, that’s video tape quality, ladies and gentlemen!). • Bent Pels – optical image distortion with a twist.

• BoobToob – a set of TV screen effects. • FewTile – tiled-images effect. I especially like the BoobToob set, it makes me feel like I’m on television.

Keep in mind that if you add a lot of new effects at once, Photo Booth will crash while loading them. It’s best to add one set at a time.
Also, these effects will work with iChat! So, you can fool your friends into thinking that something’s gone wonky with your iSight or that they’re really seeing you through a hologram.
