Hi list,
I'm testing 2 different webcam models: a generic and cheap 1.3MP webcam and a Microsoft VX-1000 webcam.

Nothing working here... Adjustments of colors seem not make any satisfactory result. Same with generic cam with uvcvideo module ...
Any tip ?
Probably off the wall, but the type of light source used to heavily influence the colour balance of 35mm cameras.
Not off the wall at all, I think you hit the nail on the head. The light source will make a huge difference (remember sophomore "Electricity & Optics" courses?) A webCAM is a CAMera first so make sure you are feeding it the best lighting possible. (i.e. put a post lamp 'behind' the webcam so it shines from behind the webcam directly on you (of course eliminate the shadow) and check the results.
Not to open a can of worms here, but how do those webcams perform with Windows? That is the O/S that they were designed to work with. If the results are the same, then it is a lighting issue. If there is a big difference, then it's software. Fred -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
