Controls - Photo Booth


Introduction

The photo booth is a curious thing indeed, blurring the boundaries between the realm of RuneScape and another plane of existence known as RSOF - the RuneScape Official Forums. The wizard Iconis has been experimenting for many years to find a way to take photographic representations of RuneScape's adventurers, so that they may show the world what they look like when sending correspondence and the like. Despite all of his research, his breakthrough came about when he crossed paths with an imp, who revealed, quite conveniently, that imps have a spell to do just this very thing! They don't half love taking things. So, the pair of them have teamed up and opened a photo booth just outside of Falador.

Photo Booth

The photo booth
The photo booth is located near the Makeover Mage's house (denoted on the map by the eye-shaped icon), just through the gate to the members' area. Iconis set up here for ease of access to a bank, a hairdresser's and the Makeover Mage - he fully expects his customers to want to show off their best gear and favourite look, so Falador was the obvious choice. First-timers might want to have a quick chat with Iconis to better understand the wizardry behind this contraption, but having your picture taken is very straightforward.

Either right-click on Iconis and choose 'Take-picture' or click on the booth itself to enter. Once inside, you'll see the below interface, which can be used just like the 'Show Equipment Stats' interface to try out different looks before taking a snap. Once you're happy with your look, click on the 'Take picture' button and you're done in just two shakes of a lamb's tail.



The photo-taking interface


The photos themselves may take a little while to develop. These things take time, you know - it's not magic! Well, okay, it is magic, but Iconis is but one man, so if the photo booth is busy, give him some time to process your images. Again, due to how popular this new contraption is, you will only be able to use the photo booth once every two hours, so make sure you're happy with how you look before hitting the 'Take picture' button.

Body shot
The Photo Booth will take two images of your character - a head shot and a full body shot. The head shot will display next to any posts you make on the forums. Iconis and his imp chum do all the work here, so it should happen automatically, but you may need to wait a short time while they clear their backlog of orders.

You can also use the following HTML (where 'playername' is the name of your character) to directly link to these images on your own website, or any other site you wish to:
