Fotobooth is a webcam center for Windows computers. Mac OS X has Photo Booth, which does a great job taking snapshots with your web camera. Fotobooth seems to have the same features. When you open Fotobooth, you will be greeted with an image of yourself. That is actually a feed coming from your webcam. At any given moment, you can take snapshots. Those will be automatically saved on a Camera Roll on your computer. First, you have to allow Fotobooth to access both the camera and your hard drive, so that it can take and store photos. The application comes preloaded with two pages of effects that you can add to your pictures in real time. The effects are really nothing to call home about, but it´s fun to play with them. Photo Booth on Mac has some nice video overlays that could really benefit Fotobooth if added. The developers have been nice enough to add a web version of the program in the website so that you can try the application before downloading. In any case, Fotobooth has been built on Adobe Air, which makes it light-weight and stable. It works on Windows and Mac.
