Make backdrop effects on Mac Photobooth to work?


Question Posted Saturday April 11 2009, 8:42 am

I just got a Macbook air and I played with the Photobooth, and in the effects there's this backdrop thing, but everytime I use it the background isn't really right or real looking. What do I need to make it work? Do i need a backdrop or some lights(it's best if I don't because I don't have space in my house)? Or can I set something up myself that I already have? Thanks!

I don't have the newest version of Photobooth, but this sounds like a green/blue screen thing.

If it is, you may need a green or blue sheet behind you to make it work. It's like what they use in movies or what the weather man uses. It's gotta be a really full blue or green though. Nothing too light or faded.

You could also just try it wearing a blue or green shirt and have some fun with that. Anything blue or green will be covered up by whatever the backdrop is supposed to be.

Hope this could help good luck!

Photobooth has options in the preferences you can play with to make the background look real, but generally speaking the Macbook Air and every other laptop don't have professional cameras that can capture images the same way as the expensive cameras you can buy.
