Sight Control is a simple and user-friendly OS X application that will give you total control of your Mac’s built-in webcam.

◼ We like Sight Control because it’s not applying filters after you’ve taken pictures or video; moving the sliders back and forth results in real-time, immediate changes. - iLounge + Mac

◼ Powerful and easy to use built-in webcam controller - Softpedia

Sight Control will allow you to easily adjust the image quality in real time while using webcam apps such as Skype or FaceTime.

Sight Control will automatically identify Macs built-in webcams, including Built-in iSight, Display iSight, FaceTime Camera (Built-in), FaceTime Camera (Display), FaceTime HD Camera (Built-in) and FaceTime HD Camera (Display).

Sight Control communicates with Mac’s built-in webcams and learns what settings they can support.

You can adjust all these settings
• Auto-Exposure Mode
• Exposure Time
• Aperture
• Brightness
• Contrast
• Hue
• Saturation
• Sharpness
• Gamma
• White Balance Temperature
• Power Line Frequency (anti-flicker)
• Backlight Composition

True hardware level control
• Instead of post processing already captured images from your webcam and apply filter to those images to create similar effects. Sight Control directly communicates with your webcam and adjusts hardware control values.

Works with almost every webcam app
• Skype
• FaceTime
• iChat, Messages
• Photo Booth
• iMovie
• QuickTime Player/QuickTime Player 7
• iStopMotion, BoinxTV
• Wirecast
• Sparkbooth
• GoToMeeting
• WebEx, Jabber
• Adobe Connect
• Flash based webcam app and many other 3rd party apps

* Sight Control works with Mac’s built-in webcam only, does not work with iSight connected via FireWire.
* If you are using external UVC camera or plan to use one, please choose my other app - Webcam Settings.

Okay, bare bones.

Basic settings, wish it had zoom.

Nicht besonders, leider!

Die Software verspricht eine Art Einstellung der Blende (Aperture). Natürlich wusste ich, dass die isight-Kamera keine Blende hat. Ich hoffte aber, dass man damit die Schärfentiefe beeinflussen und Hintergrund entsprechend unscharf kriegen könnte. Das ist mit der im imac integrierten Kamera und dieser Software leider nicht möglich. Was gut funktioniert, sind alle anderen Einstellungen. Der Vorteil ist auch, dass man dann in Schwarz-Weiß Bilder übertragen kann. Leider kann man aber keinen Bildausschnitt wählen.

Works as advertised

I have a lot of backlight in my office and this did the trick. Solved my problems for my video conferencing.

Thank You … Works Great!

Thank you … your app really helped me adjust my webcam so that my Skype sessions were "visible" to the other party instead of the usuall dark images that were being transmitted due to my rooms lighting. FIVE STARS for a great app.

Great!

This is a fantastic software and the developer provided me with great support. With an accurate and elegant user interface, this app is a must if you want to get the most out of your Macs built-in webcam.

Very Nice Program - works well

I had been looking for something to control the settings on my iMac 27" FaceTime camera. At certain times of day the lighting conditions get very bad and Sight Control helps by allowing me to make various adjustments to the camera to get a good facetime picture.

Seems a bit buggy

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt seem to be able to change the video settings within Skype. Also, I wish it were possible to open the control panel automatically when starting a Skype call, or at least it would be good for the app to be able to remember its settings. Instead, its necessary to change the settings every time! In this day and age, apps like this should be much smarter.
