Photobooth: First impressions

By Scott McNulty

I finally got my brand spankin' new iMac yesterday, and it was well worth the wait. The biggest feature is, of course, Front Row what I will be posting about later today. Front Row isn't the only new application living on my iMac.

Photobooth is a simple application that is designed to take photos using the built in iSight, and apply different filters to said photo. MacZealots has a good tutorial on how to use Photobooth (it isn't too hard).

My initial thoughts on Photobooth are as follows:

  • It is fun to use
  • You can only export the photos to iPhoto or Mail (or use them as your account picture/iChat photo). It would be nice if you could just save them to the desktop
  • Did I mention it is fun?

I suspect this little application will be a hit at parties.

UPDATE: Eagle eyed readers tell you that you can just drag the photos to your desktop. Brilliant! And yes, I go to sad parties.
