iGlasses for iSight

In an attempt to have video conferences with family back in Hong Kong I bought an iSight last week. The device has received almost universal approval and as expected my early tests were all positive. I am looking into the actual video conferencing software, but in the meantime the iSight's one major flaw has been poor performance in low light situations. For whatever reason, there is no way to control any of the iSight's settings from within iChat or OS X itself so there is not much you can do about it apart from turn on more lights. Kensington's SightLight is marketed as a cure for this, but a much better solution is to install the $8 iGlasses. This amazing app provides a wide range of controls for the iSight, from exposure to white balance. The results are astonishing - the sample screenshots on the product webpage are not exaggerations!
