External iSight and PhotoBooth?

[zap2]

Do they work together on an none iMac intel/Mac Book Pro?

 

[imacintel]

yup, I believe u can get PB of apple's webside

 

[Benjamindaines]

Yes it will work with an external iSight with non-iSighted (for lack of a better word) Macs. But no you can't get it off Apple's website, you will have to find someone to send it to you, just not on the site

so if i burn the app from my girlfriends mbp then i could install it on my powerbook? Would this also work with the comic strip app?

 

[techound1]

Anyone have experience with other photo-capture-from-isight apps?

Yeah, photobooth works pretty seamlessly on a powerpc mac. I feel like some features don't work as well with the external isight (colored pencil, glow) , but it's otherwise very cool.

In regards to other snapshot apps... i just use the video preview in ichat and press command-alt-S. very simple, very nice.

I believe that the iSight built into the iMacs and the MacBook Pros is running on a internal Firewire 400 bus anyway, so it probably wont be able to tell the damn difference in the first place.

I use it all the time on my PowerBook G4 and its great!

Okay, I'll give you that I am totally unable to read

There's a whole world of imaging apps on apple.com that -among other things - do snaps from an iSight. I got waaaay too excited when I found them right under my nose!

Putting photobooth on a ppc mac is ridiculously easy....

drag and drop.

You guessed right....putting it on your cpu is easy, finding where to get it....well, that's for a different site..

When they opened up the intel imacs DIdnt they discover that the internal isights ran on and internal USB bus?

Ive read the somewhere too, but it works great with an isight, it even works with my digital camcorder hooked up via FW.

how did you get it. I would really love to have it for my ibook g4.

 

[applemacdude]

yea it works... u can even use a DV camera connected via firewire and itll work...

Find someone who has a built-in iSight. PhotoBooth only comes bundled on these machines. Then just copy it across.

I really don't understand why Apple didn't make this little app available to everyone. I mean it's simple enough for them to lock it down so it could only be used with iSights.
