You need an Intel CPU.

"Backdrop effects require an Intel Core Duo or faster processor" from http://www.apple.com/macosx/techspecs/

you need an intel processor for it to work

Photo Booth requires an iSight camera (built-in or external), USB video class (UVC) camera, or FireWire DV camcorder; and an Intel or PowerPC G5 processor. Backdrop effects require an Intel Core Duo or faster processor. Backdrop effects when using a DV camcorder require fixed focus, exposure, and white balance

Looks like you're out of luck.



Ooops, Too slow...

Oh that's crap! Me too then. I've got an iSight iMac but it's not the intel one.

CURSE YOU APPLE! <shakes fist>

yeah same. I got the iMac with built-in iSight about 2 months before it was moved to Intel. And when i got it, it had just been released. I think it was the quickest update of any of apple's products, i remember reading that somewhere.

I thought it didn't work either

That's why I said "didn't have" and not "doesn't have"
