macOS Automator Photo Booth help needed

[gardner64]

I am trying to make an automator workflow on my Macbook Pro that will work as a photobooth for my upcoming wedding. I have tried several workflows that either crash or print incorrectly. I am looking to have 3-4 pictures taken, saved to a file for future use and printed on a 4 x 6 strip after the photos are taken. Any ideas?!

dont reinvent the wheel someone has already done exactly that and done it well. check out http://davidcline.wordpress.com/2009/08/16/diy-wedding-photo-booth/

I used it a month ago for my wedding and it worked great. Its donation ware I donated $10 and saved myself hours of frustration trying to figure it out on my own.

I saw that and he has a disclaimer that it hasn't been tested on Lion. I have Lion, so kinda worried about compatibility issues.

I haven't tried it on lion yet. Either way it would at least give you a great start as you can fully modify the automator workflow he created.
