Sight Control for PC and Mac

Software Reviews and Criticism

• By Anthrobug

  Fixed problem; Access to basic controls that should be built in.

  I bought this because my iSight camera seemed to be stuck with a black picture; obviously something wrong with the auto exposure setting. So I took a chance and bought this app thinking it might help - it was $5, and I wanted the options it offered anyway. Opening Sight Control and lo & behold, my exposure is set to manual and cranked all the way to darkness. I set it to auto, closed Sight Control, and everything using the camera showed a perfect picture - well, a sort of perfect picture. So I went back into Sight Control and tuned the settings just right for my setup, including turning off backlight adjustment, and I ended up with a much better picture for conferencing. The details and contrast is much better. Obviously, if I move the laptop I need to re-tune it, but by default it runs as a menubar item so it’s easy to get to. The bad side of this app is the options that aren’t available; Some settings don’t work, which I imagine depends on the camera model you have in your Windows, but it’s frustrating to see the options in the screenshot and not being able to use them once you get the app. It’s also a bit clumsy - But it’s the functionality that counts. Basically, if you want some control over iSight contrast, brightness, and other settings, this is a easy way to improve your outgoing iSight video.

  Awesome! Fixed my Windows 5K camera problems

  Due to light configuration in my room it was practicall impossible to use Skype on my new Windows 5K. All people could see is a big white area instead of my face and a perfectly balanced picture of a back wall on my room. It drove me mad that Microsoft doesn’t allow users to control camera settings. This app however for just $5 allowed me to adjust brightness and contrast (and bunch of other settings) and I was able to fix all the light issues I had. I also played with saturation and hue to achieve more natural colors. Great app!

  NO LONGER WORKS!!

  I purchased this a few months ago to replace iGlasses which stopped working with Mojave. After upgrading to Catalina it stopped working and all controls are grey. It no longer works. I have tried writing the developer with no response. Do not waste your money. This should not be in the App Store. Until the developer fixes this App, this review will stand hopefully to stop others from purchasing. Old review: This works on my 2014 Windows. After I upgraded to Mojave the iGlasses software that I had purchased from ecamm (not from within the App store) no longer worked. Now, once again, I am able to brighten, sharpen, etc. the terrible built-in camera when I use PhotoBooth and Facetime.

  Fixed my blue tint

  My new 5K Windows had an extremely disturbing blue tint with its built-in iSight camera. It's disappointing for such an expensive PC. However, this program solved the problem. I unchecked the auto white balance temperature, and moved the slider until the color cast disappeared. I didn't even have to end the FaceTime conversation. All setting adjustments are immediate. This app really works, and even after quitting it, the settings stay.
