If you’re tired of the effects built-in to iChat and Photobooth, I’ve found a plugin that adds 24 new effects! It’s freeware, so simply click here to download and install.

Some of the cool effects you’ll find:

• Clouds
• Eiffel Tower
• Rollercoaster
• Earthrise
• Cowboy (this one superimposes your eyes and mouth on a cowboy face… hilarious)
• Joconde (same as ‘cowboy, but you can put your face on the Mona Lisa!)
• Times Square (another cool one… superimpose yourself into times square!)

I played around with this in Photobooth for awhile and it’s ‘all good’. Lots of new effects so you’ll want to check it out for yourself.

Have fun with this one!
