PhotoBooth for Other Macs?
Apple's support document for PhotoBooth 1.0 indicates that PhotoBooth will work with an both an external video camera (such as an iSight) as well as the iMac's built in video camera.
PhotoBooth is a simple fun application which allows new iMac owners to take photos of themselves and apply various effects -- such as Sepia, Glow, Comic Book and more. The manipulated photos can be sent to friends by email or placed in your iPhoto Library.
For whatever reason, Apple is only offering PhotoBooth pre-installed on new iMacs, and has not yet released the software publicly. According to various reader reports, the 3.5mb application has no restrictions and does work on other Macs with an iSight (or other external video camera).

It works. Haven't tried it on a USB-enabled webcam. Seems to work fine even with some of my digital firewire camcorders.

Hopefully it will become available soon. Realistically I bet they'll include it as one of the upgrades in iLife 06, or something.

Makes sense. If they don't want to give it away just for free, then it could at least be bundled with iSight cameras, and made available to iSight owners.
Maybe they're waiting until they've added a check that makes it iSight-only.
It would be simpler to give it a way for free, but then I'm not an disinterested party :)

I would have to agree, I think we'll see it packaged within the iLife 06 suite.

My money (literally) is on an iLife 06 add-in. I wouldn't be opposed to a freebie however.

I'm thinking if one was to go to any Mac torrent site, one would be able to download, and if one had a firewire camera one would be able to use it regardless of what Mac they had...
My friend did it...yeah... :rolleyes:

Front Row, PhotoBooth and more will make iLife more sought after than ever.
