\cf0 ImageSnap is a Public Domain command-line tool that lets you capture still images from an iSight or other video source.\
\pard\pardeftab720\sa300
\f1\b\fs38 \cf2 Installation\
\pard\pardeftab720\sa320
\f0\b0\fs32 \cf0 Copy the
\f2\fs26 imagesnap
\f0\fs32 file to someplace on your path like
\f2\fs26 /usr/local/bin
\f0\fs32 , or leave it in a "current directory," and call it with
\f2\fs26 ./imagesnap
\f0\fs32 instead.\
Enjoy!\
\pard\pardeftab720\sa300
\f1\b\fs38 \cf2 Usage\
\pard\pardeftab720\sa320
\f0\b0\fs32 \cf0 To capture an image simply run the program from the command line.\
\pard\pardeftab720
\f2\fs26 \cf0 $ imagesnap\
Capturing image from device "iSight"..................snapshot.jpg\
\pard\pardeftab720\sa320
\f0\fs32 \cf0 \
To specify a filename, make that your last argument:\
\pard\pardeftab720
\f2\fs26 \cf0 $ imagesnap icu.jpg\
Capturing image from device "iSight"..................icu.jpg\
\pard\pardeftab720\sa320
\f0\fs32 \cf0 \
If you have multiple video devices attached to your computer, use the
\f2\fs26 -l
\f0\fs32 ("el") flag to list them:\
\pard\pardeftab720
\f2\fs26 \cf0 $ imagesnap -l\
Video Devices:\
iSight\
DV\
\pard\pardeftab720\sa320
\f0\fs32 \cf0 \
To select a specific video device use the
\f2\fs26 -d
\f3\i device
\f0\i0\fs32 flag:\
\pard\pardeftab720
\f2\fs26 \cf0 $ imagesnap -d DV\
Capturing image from device "DV"..................snapshot.jpg\
\pard\pardeftab720\sa320
\f0\fs32 \cf0 \
To output a jpeg representation to standard out (stdout), use a dash for the filename:\
\pard\pardeftab720
\f2\fs26 \cf0 $ ssh [email protected] /usr/local/bin/imagesnap - > snapshot.jpg\
$ open snapshot.jpg\
\pard\pardeftab720\sa300
\f1\b\fs38 \cf2 \
Image Formats\
\pard\pardeftab720\sa320
\f0\b0\fs32 \cf0 The following image formats are supported and are determined by the filename extension: JPEG, TIFF, PNG, GIF, BMP.\

\f1\b\fs38 \cf2 A Note About Public Domain\
\pard\pardeftab720\sa320
\f0\b0\fs32 \cf0 I have released this software into the Public Domain. That means you can do whatever you want with it. Really. You don't have to match it up with any other open source license \'97 just use it. You can rename the files, do whatever you want. If your lawyers say you have to have a license, contact me, and I'll make a special release to you under whatever reasonable license you desire: MIT, BSD, GPL, whatever.}
