I've just moved to Linux Family. I installed Elementary OS 64bit (based on Ubuntu).
I try to configure my Skype, but the video image is really dark. It is working, but it is low in contrast.
I've downloaded Cheese and the image there is great.
I've download Guvcview and the image there is great as well. But, when I run the guvcview, I have a lot of errors in terminal.
The weird is that when I have guvcview opened with the great image and open the preview of Skype camera, then then image of the first one gets darker too.
guvcview 1.5.3
