volting over 1 year
I installed Camorama as part of a test on video capture performance under xubuntu 12.04.
I played around with some of the effects settings -afterward I realized that Camorama doesn't apply Image processing to the frames it reads from the webcam, instead it appears to alter some settings on the webcam device itself, as every other app that uses the webcam now shows the video feed with same tint / contrast etc as set under Camorama.
I tried to reset the settings in Camorama without any look, I tried to set the settings to look some way normal also without any luck! is there some other way?
