    Hey, I was wondering, if there are any windows programs that have features similar to the Mac's PhotoBooth.

    My friend and I were playing with one it Best Buy and had too much fun lol. Anyone know of a similar thing for Windows os?

    Thanks,

    Fili

    I'm not quite sure what exactly you mean. Can't you just use any Instant Messaging program, such as Skype or MSN messenger?

    I'm looking for a Program that has special effects. Like Photobooth, which is just a layer of some effects, such as "Twirl" where in the center of the camera, it begins to twirl, so if you had your face there, it would get disfigured.

    most webcams come with very good webcam programs that do all of that.

    hmm...I don't think I can help you. Most web cam software are security based usually.

    i do not believe that photo-booth has real-time pic manipualtion either ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photo_Booth_(software)) It makes u "feel" that it is real time but it is just a snap shop and then manipulation on top of it. it is just very clever the way apple does it, packaging the work in memory.

    cheers ...
