Cool new Skype video effects with YouCam

I love messing about with webcam video effects in Skype and find that it makes conversations far more entertaining. However, I do get annoyed when my friends have better effects than me bundled with their webcam software. I’ve recently discovered CyberLink YouCam though, which lets you apply a variety of dynamic effects to your video. Some of the emoticon-style effects in the program aren’t up to much, but the ones that use facial tracking technology are great. I’m a particular fan of the ones that turn you into a talking dog. Here are my favorite effects to try in YouCam.

    Hi! I was using the Youcam in Skype, i took snapshots during the video conversation, and now have no idea where they saved to. I know typically the photos go in the ‘documents’/'youcam’ photo album that it automatically creates. But I didn’t know if it was the same using Skype since the photos aren’t in the ‘youcam’ folder. Does anyone know if they save to a different file, or was I supposed to manually save them before closing Skype?
