Add more visual effects to iChat and Photo Booth

A cool tip on adding the visual effects....

Add more visual effects to iChat and Photo Booth: "There is a fairly large collection of Quartz Compositions stored in /System/Library/Compostions, including all those used for iChat, Photo Booth, iTunes Visualizers, and iMovie Effects. Many of them have no apparent purpose in any of the above, and yet, are fully compatible with iChat and Photo Booth if it weren't for the presence of a couple of hidden flags.



I've gone through and tested all of them to find those that would work, and removed a few that just wouldn't work right or were just plain boring. The list of 24 I ended up with add three panels of visual effects to both iChat and Photo Booth. The list is as follows:



ASCII Art, Blue Print, Blur, City Lights, Color Controls, Color Invert, Compound Eye, Concert, Copy Machine, Crystallize, Dot Screen, Exposure Adjust, Film Stock, Gamma Adjust, Kaleidescope, Line Overlay, Line Screen, Monochrome, Neon, Pixellate, Pointillize, Posterize, Sharpen, Swing, Tracer, Zoom Blur
