Changing color tones in Photo Booth

I'm not satisfied with the choices available for Photo Booth (are there any?). True, there are many things for teenagers, but I'm not one. More specifically, is there any way to change the color hues/tones/temperatures? Failing that, are there any apps that can be used with an iMac's camera to produce better results?

Photobooth is a fairly basic, fun app. It's not designed to do much more than take a digital simulacrum of old carnival photobooth strips. If you want to manipulate photos on your Mac use the Photos app. It is extensible. Beyond that, you'd want to look at Photoshop or GIMP.

I have found something better, I think. I haven't yet tried any photo editors, but I have now purchased and tried an app that changes the settings on the iMac camera. The one I've tested is called Webcam Settings, and it seems to be the best free such app that I have seen. Wrong. it costs $6.99. I've struggled enough with this problem today, but tomorrow I'll be checking the two photo editors that I have downloaded; however, unless they perform sensationally, it's just more convenient to get the photo right the first time rather than fixing it later.

I'm lost. I've been spending the time since I last posted trying to download iPhoto and Photo, even something called "The Verge." I downloaded several versions of iPhoto, but iPhoto doesn't seem to be operative any longer. I can't do anything with "Photo." When I click on "photo.app" in Finder, I get the following:

I'll keep looking until I get the next notice from Apple Support Comunitirs.
