Step 60: Download Photobooth.exe

Instructions.png
Extract all the files to a folder. The folder structure must be maintained in order to make this work so you can't just extract one file.

It works on Win XP Win 7. Because Autoit does not work on Macs or Linux it is not cross platform. In the future I may rewrite it using Processing which is java based and cross platform.

To start click on the Photobooth V0.22.exe. The software will immediately start taunting and talking.

To start taking photos press insert once. When the voice is done talking it will start your webcam. Press ESC to close.

Then it will take four pictures and save them into the pictures folder. It will also merge them into a photostrip.

Normally it would print directly to the printer, but I've disabled it since I haven't figured out a way to set the paper size yet. If you are familiar with autoit you can go into the .au3 code and uncomment the lines that control printing. But it does not intelligently set the paper size, instead it prints on the default.

A few software upgrades are in the works, but are too buggy to be released.

Serial Comm Support
Manual stepping between photos
Twitter (TwitPic) Support
User GUI
Canon Power Shot Support (for better images)
Printer Paper size Calibration

Hmm... It sounds like the webcam isn't working. Are you using XP? I noticed some webcams won't work if you aren't using the windows webcams drivers. I had to uninstall my webcam's driver and use the default ones to get it to work.
