 =****Taking your picture with Photo Booth****= Using Photo Booth and a digital video camera, such as your computer's built-in camera or iSight, you can take a picture of yourself and select several ways to use it. Photo Booth saves your photos as JPEG files in a folder named Photo Booth, located in your Pictures folder in your home folder. Choose File > Reveal in Finder to see your photo files.

=****Getting Started****=
 * Photo Booth can take both **photos and video**
 * Photos can be dragged out of Photo Booth and onto the desktop
 * Photo Booth can help students **document what they've worked on** with video or photos
 * Work that is done on paper can be photographed and inserted into documents - **a great option for digitizing things that are easier to do on paper**
 * Although Photo Booth can take video, it is probably better to use iMovie if you are filming multiple scenes that have to be put together into one movie
 * If you see a student looking at their Mac and laughing or smiling, they're most likely on Photo Booth!

 To make your photo more unique, you can apply a special effect when you take it. So that you can take pictures in poor lighting, the screen flashes when Photo Booth takes a picture. Photo Booth counts down for 3 seconds, then flashes the screen and takes the picture. If you click the thumbnail of a photo and you want to take another picture, click the Live Video button below the image.
 * 1) If you are using an iSight or external digital video camera, make sure it's turned on.
 * 2) To select an effect to apply when you take the picture, click one of the Effects buttons.
 * 3) Click the effect you want to use. If you want a photo with no effect, click the center effect.
 * 4) When you're ready to take a picture, click the Shutter button below the image.
 * 1) To view the photo and select how you want to use it, click the thumbnail of the photo at the bottom of the window.
