All iMac computers and most Mac laptops include a built-in camera called iSight. It is a great little camera, but is flawed by the fact that Apple doesn't offer any software for controlling the camera. You can't adjust the camera except by tilting your monitor or laptop. There are no color, exposure or image controls with the camera. Fortunately though, there is a handy inexpensive utility that will allow you to control your iSight camera when you use iChat, Photobooth or other video applications. Here I will cover the basics for using this nifty utility.

Download and install iGlasses (see link in Resources below). During the installation you can choose which applications you want to use iGlasses with. Select iChat and any other applications you may use with the iSight built-in Camera. When you launch iChat, the iGlasses application will automatically open. You can select the iGlasses control panel under the iChat VIDEO tab.
2Select standard or another preset mode to work on. Explore the presets. You can choose bright, extra bright, sepia and many other presets and adjust them to your preference and lighting, then select the area you want to adjust. You can adjust exposure, color and many other image characteristics.
3Most of us use our cameras from our work or home office, which usually has mixed low-level lighting. The image was too dark so I selected the super bright exposure. Now the image is perhaps too light, but I can easily adjust it with the slider. This enables you to have iChat conversations where everyone can actually see one another.
4You can also zoom, pan and rotate the camera. This helps eliminate distractions during iChat conversations. No more dogs and cats walking in the background. It forces your iChat attendees to focus on you instead of what is moving in the background. This is especially useful for business conversations and training courses.
5The iGlasses application has a lot of settings and adjustments. You can adjust the white balance, hue, shadows, saturation and much more. Experiment with all the settings. Once you have the settings the way you want them, SAVE them as a CUSTOM PRESET. Next time you open IChat, just select your saved preset and you are ready to go.
