How to Get an Image Out of Photo Booth
Getting an image out of your Mac's Photo Booth application is important if you want to share it with other people or create a copy of it to access in another application. The Photo Booth application takes photo snapshots and video clips through the webcam on your Mac. There are numerous effects, such as adding a space background, available within the application. After a while, the dozens of photos you take will become an unmanageable mess and you'll need to start organizing and exporting the images to another location.
