Photo Booth like app for Windows XP?

[Jmymx1 0]

Is there any program that functions like photo booth with effects that you can choose? Thanks.

I dont know of one exactly like that, but if you have a supported logitech webcam, then there's this app you can get that lets you change the image into an animation of some kind of character, give you glasses, etc. That program might be able to apply filters and stuff to your image, but I don't know. Check out the loguitech webiste. http://logitech.com/

Hi.

I have just come about a homepage called sigost.com, which is a online clone of photo booth - it is still only a beta but it is fully functional and it has a large online gallery....

check it out at www.sigost.com

There is a windows xp app called snap that has similar functionality. http://snapstrip.com

Does someone have screenshots of Photo Booth?

I want to do a Windows XP version (not exactly with all functionality, but can try).

I've already done something similar, I'll post it as soon as I can find it.

Edit:

Found it! Download here:

Notes:

• uses old avicap system.
  
• do expect hangups and bugs.
  
• I did this for fun a long time ago... maybe I turn it into DShow based and make it a good program.
  
• yes it supports external plugins but I don't remember if it's implemented

Wow matonga, another OSX-like app ! Do you ever take a break ?

[vitasg 0]

Cool. Is there any way this could be integrated into a video plug-in for Miranda -- something similar to video iChat in OSX?

[matonga 0]

If there is an SDK for that purpose, then it can be done

Your application is very promising matonga... another cool one.

I guess it would just need some UI makeover. I'll see if I can get photobooth screenshots, I've the app but unfortunately my iBook doesn't have video cam. I can also help you creating bitmaps and textures if you plan to turn VideoFX in photobooth clone.

Anyway, I got some problem with VideoFX. Check the screenie below. Any idea what might be causing it?

If you want I can help with the screenshots

Exciting. Some background on iChat:

Also, matonga, this may help, but I am not a developer so I don't know.

If you go with this project it would be nice to make it skinnable using pngs with alpha blending if at all possible.(I hate bitmaps)

@iGo:

I'm moving onto DShow which is another architecture for webcam image acquisition (among other stuff). This may solve your problem, may not solve it, or may make it worse. Whatever is the result, stay tuned for the DShow based release.

@Dream_Team:

Please any Photo Booth screenshots welcome, even if I make it skinnable, I would need screenshots of each effect to try to understand and reproduce them.

@vitasg:

Thanks for the info. The .ocx is shareware, and I'm trying to keep this freeware I already downloaded a DSPack delphi component, it looks very promising.

@Ghostwalker:

You mean alpha blending as in 8 bit alpha blending? This will complicate things a bit (if you mean the window to have translucent parts).

But be sure I'll use PNGs there (I don't like bitmaps too much).

Screenshots here

Some screenshots (like Image 11) are taken while photobooth in animating the transition (the arrows in the effect butotn are sliding from the button itself) and the main picture dezoom into the center.

Good luck

PS : It stops at "Image 12" ,I'm still uploading ... so until you don't find it, please wait

EDIT : Finished uploading. When the 2nd mode button is pressed, it takes 4 pictures, so the camera thing (after 3 2 1) light up progressively (1/4 of it is glowing, then 2/4, etc ...) Also it flashes the screen in white after the countdown, so it does like a flash (my iMac screen is very bright) while it takes the photo

Yes I have been working on some Yahoo Widgets that use the hud look and I would love to make a skin for this app to match.

Example Widget: Quicklook Media Player

Flash Player

Music Player

This started from the idea of skinning VLC and I thought I would stick with something I know.

I love videofx matias! any chance of allowing it to use my microsoft lifecam at a higher resolution, atm its stretching from the lowest it seems...

any chance your goign to continue developing this? it has real potential

[njb570 0]

so has videofx been finished up?

[matonga 0]

OMG hahaha!

I forgot this ever existed!

I can't promise to make a plugin for some chat program (unless of course someone points me to the SDK of Miranda, Pidgin, MSN Messenger, or some API to intercept DirectShow when some app is frame-grabbing, such things would be very cool info to have).

About DSPack way (DirectShow lib for Delphi), I've taken a look to it, probably will use it in K! Media Center (VLC is a pain in the some-personal-part-of-myself) and for VideoFX too, if I happen to find the source code (probably to be fully rewritten)

I don't know anything for them, but I do know something for the replacement of MSN, WLM,:

if there is anything for WLM to do this, it should be there
