[QUOTE="TRI, post: 1643763, member: 299820"] [b]for the next guy...[/b] I went through this today and was able to turn off Photobooth's mirroring on my iBook G4 running Leopard with some instructions I found. It worked great. It might work with applications other than Photobooth. First I had to install the Xcode tools, which was on the Leopard install disk in the folder called Optional Installs. Then I followed these instructions: 1. Make a backup of Photo Booth so that you can return easily to the application's original behavior if desired. 2. Control-click on the Photo Booth application, pick Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu, then navigate into the Contents » Resources folder. 3.Double-click on Effect.qtz within that folder to open it in Quartz Composer. 4. Locate the left-most Flip patch. Select it and click the Patch Parameters gear. Uncheck the 'Flip' box. 5. Save Effect.qtz and quit Quartz Composer. [/QUOTE]
