    Posted by Ernie Santella on December 4, 2008 at 4:19 am

    When I use my MacBook Pro’s iChat camera in Apple Photo Booth, the Video Movie image recorded is flipped horizontally. Is there anyway to change that? I can’t find any controls for that. (I did see the controls for flipping a still pic)

    As you’ve found, flipping the photo after you take it seems to be the way it was designed to work. If you want the video flipped in real-time, I don’t think it does that.

    A somewhat cheap solution is the $10 “iGlasses.” It’s a bit of software that adjusts the camera signal upstream of any applications.

    It has a bunch of different controls like brightness and color and stuff like that. I have used it enough times that I considered to be worth the price.
