iSight as a still camera?

[ero87]

I just purchased an isight for my pre-photo-booth iMac, and I'm interested in taking still photos with it. Is there an easy way to do this, maybe through iMovie? thanks.

I dont own iSight but iSight should be able to just take stills. if not, im sure u can find photobooth that ships with all thew new macs that allows you to take the stills

Photobooth now comes in the box with all new iSights.

so there's no way to get photobooth? (besides buying a new mac)

Yeah there is.
I don't know what it ships with, but the PhotoBooth app is extremely small.
You can just go down to an Apple Store, find a PowerPC iMac (assuming you have a PowerPC Mac) and e-mail PhotoBooth to yourself on the iMac.

^^I'm gonna try that trick, but instead of emailing Photobooth, I'm gonna email Aperture to myself. I may also try emailing Final Cut Pro to myself. 😱
