If Photoshop and PhotoBooth were sampled and remixed by the spirit of Bob Moog, the result would be DotMatrix...It works with your G4/G5/Intel Mac running Tiger! Works great with iSight, but does not require built-in camera - use mobile phone pictures...

DotMatrix ushers in a new era of instant retro/pop/art photography, combining powerful, non-destructive, Photoshop-like eye-candy, shareable codes and live iSight preview (works with most cams). Now, ANYONE and do we mean ANYONE can make sophisticated pictures using just a Mac and the built-in camera. You don't have to be artistic if you can click and POSE! Over 400 instant, ready to use photo/art compositions (presets).
