Just like the new ability to use backdrops in iChat, Leopard also introduces this feature in Photo Booth. In this example, I will drop my picture into a backdrop that is actually a screenshot.

Previously, I demostrated how to use backdrops and video effects in iChat. If you familiar with that, this will be easy.

In Photo Booth, click the effect boxes at the bottom until you hit the 3rd section. These are the default backdrops. When you select one, the camera will insert your face into the backdrop.



If you want to create your own backdrop, click over to the 4th effects box. You can drag a media file into one of these boxes to make a backdrop. here I am dragging a screenshot into the backdrop slot.




Now, I can select this backdrop and my mug is inserted into it. Forgive me, it's late. :)
