If there is no PhotoBooth.plist currently in your User / Library / Preferences folder, quit Photo Booth (if it is open) and re-launch it. A new PhotoBooth.plist will be created automatically by the Photo Booth app unless your software is damaged or has been modified somehow.
If you do not already know, the Library Folder is hidden OS X Lion. Use the <option> Key and the Finder > Go menu command to access the hidden folder as instructed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4567

My Photobooth is acting up. It's a bit blurry looking... iChat ... looks great.
(1) Be sure you are testing Photo Booth in bright light. Using brighter light for iChat
might make its pictures look better than Photo Booth.
(2) If more light does not help, be sure you haven't applied a Photo Booth effect
that is causing the blur.
Launch Photo Booth, click the "Effects" button, and then click the center ("Normal") choice before you take a new test picture.
(3) If your Photo Booth test picture is still blurry, you may need to
repair your Photo Booth app.
Use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions and then download and apply the latest Lion Combo Update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1524
Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart that completes the Combo update.
Properly applying the Combo version of updates can sometimes correct software problems.
(4) If properly applying the latest available Combo Update doesn't fix Photo Booth,
reinstall OS X.
Reinstalling Lion will reinstall all its component apps, including Photo Booth. If you need help reinstalling, see this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3878
