I noted that several people have used the Camera control script as the software to drive a photobooth as events, such as wedding, where guests can come up and take their own picture.
The script can be used like that, but is hardly ideal. However I can imagine making a “photobooth mode” specifically for this purpose which would take away some of the problems.
E.g. you could have a simplified control – basically only one button to press.
Let me know if that sounds interesting and if you have any ideas to add and see if I should spend some more thought on it.

Hey Raymond,
I had a question about your script, and since I can’t seem to find any contact information I’m posting it here.
I was wondering if I could offer my programming experience to help with your script. I would love to try to convert it to a .NET application and try to optimize it where possible. Ofcourse you’d get full credit for the script.
Could you contact me about this? I’m eager to hear if you like this idea.

OK, found your email, mail is on its way

Tom, thanks for the thought, and the email. I’m not really keen on this idea I’m afraid.
This script is my “baby” at the moment and is a creative/hobby outlet for me and I’m quite happy with were it is for now from that respect.
If what I have done inspires you to create something of your own, then great, all power to you!

I’ll start looking into WIA this weekend myself then, see how far I can get.
Thanks for the response.

Photobooth…, I would LOVE to have this with a Photobooth option!

I think a photobooth (or immensely simplified ID-10T friendly version…) would be VERY cool…
To that end, do any of the “point and shoot” cameras work with PTP, etc? Be fun to set one up on a tripod for the party…

Love the idea of a photo booth function!
