Turn off the flash in Photobooth.app
March 28th, 2008Photobooth is fairly useless, but fun. I set it up at parties and let people go wild with self-documenting. Sometimes though, I just need to take a quick pic to update an online profile and the flash is pretty annoying. A little searching today finally turned up the answer.
When screen colors are inverted (useful for certain types of color-blindness) the “flash” turns the screen black. This adds no discernible light to a photo, and it doesn’t annoy everyone around you at the coffee-shop, or airport terminal.
Command+Option+Control+8 will invert colors and change them back. The photos taken will also be inverted, but will be “normal” once the screen colors are reverted.
