When a backdrop is selected, a new message tells the user to step away from the camera. The user can apply backdrops to provide an effect similar to a green screen. Another set of image effects allows users to replace the background with a custom backdrop. The user can download additional effects from various websites. The first set contains photographic filters similar to those used in Adobe Photoshop. In fact, Photo Booth has two sets of image effects. The user can apply special effects while taking a picture by clicking on the “Effects” button.
