Okay, not me (although I STILL haven't gotten preview back after I made this mistake >.<), my girlfriend... She deleted photo booth from her macbook, and now she's bugging me. How can she get it back?

You can use a Application called Pacifist. It will let you extract applications out of the DVD that came with your Mac and put them back.

The options are:

Insert your OS X disc and head for the optional installs folder - go through that and see if photo booth is one of the available selections - if not, you're limited to:

reinstall OS X
or grab Pacifist

Good call Bobtomay. I keep forgetting about Optional Installs. If it's there just install the missing application.
