10.5: Use Automator for more still image effects

I got a new external iSight, and have been playing around with it. I discovered that if you use the Automator action Take Video Snapshot (found in the Photos category) you have many more effects available than you do in Photo Booth. You may save the action as an application for easier use; it is pretty slow, though.

[robg adds: This command basically brings up the same dialog you see when you choose the Edit Picture open on your iChat buddy icon. Click the camera icon in the dialog (or check the Take Picture Automatically box in the action), then add the effects and click Set. Your edited image will wind up on the Desktop (or wherever you told Automator to send it).]
