Making a photo booth. You know, one button gives you a print with 4little pics.
So, I want to build a setup that work like a "real" (if I can use that term) old school photo booth. I want to be able to press a button and get a print of either a strip or four corners on a 4x6".
I know that there's some PC software out ther like photoboof for making a digital photo booth that takes a series of shots and gives you a print.
I havn't used apple's photobooth app enough to know if it could but from what I've seen I highly doubt it.
Anyone have any suggestions? Do I have to write my own program?
I was at a friends wedding and the photographer had set up an area with a Mac, a camera and a mouse. Stand on the X and press single mouse button and the camera would take your picture. Didn't bother printing on site as they were meant to be a visual record of the guests for the couple.

I've never really used Automator. Can you suggest a good tutorial?
I've set up photo booth areas at parties and such but they have always meant having some one click on something for each shot. And making a print on a single document is pretty essential.
I could probably make an action for most of this in photoshop, with the exception of taking the captures and automating the action to start once all four captures have been made.
Well, the whole point is that I want to go straight from a camera to a print with one click. Plus I don't want to have to use an iSight, I'd like to use a digital still camera or at least something that will trigger a flash.
Your pictures are very fun. But if I use another camera that can fire a flash then that way I can light it like this photo from the last time I tried making a photo-booth. (Both people are not me by the way.)
I'd have been very impressed if they were you.
