Take Control of Photo Booth

Posted in Random by Dan at 10:48 am

Tired of Photo Booth’s screen flash and countdown when you try to take a picture? Here are some secret commands that may make your life easier:

  • To turn off the countdown, press the Option key while clicking the Shutter button.
  • To turn off the flash, press the Shift key while clicking the Shutter button.
  • To turn off both the countdown and flash, press Option-Shift while clicking the Shutter button.

It is important to note that these keyboard shortcuts work in Leopard only.

    The Option one works in Tiger too, just FYI.

    Secret commands?

    They are in the “Help” section in Photobooth.

    But who reads the help for an app as simple as PB?

    One who can’t figure out how to disable the flash?
