The Photo Booth application in OS X Mountain Lion provides all the fun of an old-time (or new-time) photo booth like the ones you sometimes see in malls or stores. It lets you shoot one photo, a burst of four photos in a row, or shoot a movie using your Mac’s built-in camera.

Since Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard, the Photo Booth application can recognize a still background, then replace it with either a pre-set image (built-in or user-supplied) or movie clip. However, chosen backgrounds are available only on Macs featuring an Intel processor.
If yours is one of the rare Macs with no built-in camera (such as the Mac Mini), or you own a better USB or FireWire webcam than the built-in model, you’ll be pleased to hear that most USB and FireWire webcams work with Photo Booth right out of the box with no drivers or other software necessary.
Just launch Photo Booth and look in the Camera menu, where any compatible cameras appear.
If you only have one camera available, it’s selected automatically so you shouldn’t have to even bother with the Camera menu.
Photo Booth couldn’t be easier to use. Start by clicking one of the three buttons in the lower-left corner of the Photo Booth window: Burst (of four photos), Single Photo, or Movie, and then click the big red camera button to take a picture.
Before you shoot, you might want to explore the five pages of special effects — Sepia Tone, Color Pencil, Pop Art, and dozens more — by clicking the Effects button (lower right), and then clicking the particular effect you want to try.

If you like it, click the big red camera button and shoot a picture, pictures, or video; if you don’t, click the Effects button again and click another effect. Or, click the Normal effect in the center of all the Effects pages, if you prefer to shoot with no effects.
Photo Booth includes a feature called Screen Flash, which uses your computer display as a camera flash by turning the screen all-white as it shoots the photo. If your screen isn’t flashing when you shoot, look in the Camera menu for the Enable Screen Flash command. If there’s not a check mark before its name, select it and there will be. Finally, Screen Flash is (understandably) disabled when shooting movies.
After you shoot, your pictures or movies drop into the tray at the bottom of the window. You can then select one or more photos in the tray and then do any of the following:
- Delete them by pressing the Delete or Backspace key.
- Share them by clicking the Share button, which replaces the Effects button when one or more photos are selected in the tray.
- Export them as JPEG files by choosing File→Export.
- Print them by choosing File→Print or pressing Command+P.
- Drag them from the tray to the Desktop, a folder, an e-mail, or iMessage, where they appear as JPEG files, or drag them onto the icon (Dock or Applications Folder) of an image editor such as iPhoto.
