Armin,
Looks like you want a photo booth. I designed a fairly complete photo booth application for my granddaughter's birthday a couple of years ago, using R:Base 9.1, and a video display/photo capture DLL that another member generously provided. It does the countdown, displays each photo as it taken and prints photo strips. I used a Logitech C920 web cam and a small Canon Selphy dye-sub printer. It worked great, and my granddaughter was delighted. Since then I built a full photo booth for my daughter's wedding and moved up to Canon S5 and DSLRs cameras and professional dye sublimation printers, and now I do this as a sideline. I like web cameras since they have no moving parts and are designed from the beginning to work with computers; however, the bigger DSLR have much bigger and better lenses, better resolution and more importantly, they can trigger a flash, something that web cameras cannot do so far and it is a must for professional photo booths. There are lots of options available, software-wise, that are reasonably priced and you can always use R:Base as well. I might go back and review/upgrade my R:base application to incorporate the latest features. I had originally planned to market it as a one-time use to brides that want to assemble their own photo booths and I might look into this market as well, although the photo booth market is getting pretty crowded here. I am not sure if I can post my photo booth web site here, but if you or anyone else is interested and/or need additional information, you can always e-mail me privately.

Hi list I'm looking for a dll to make a snapshot by the webcam. There is given in R:Base application: - Name of the picture - pathname where to be saved - button with caption 'take picture' dll has to do: - count down 3 - 2 - 1 -> picture is taken - save picture - say 'done' Has anybody such a simple dll to do this? Actually I realize this by means of www.webcamyou.com, but not really satisfying. Best regards Armin
