Welcome to Discussions, Jfletcher1

As you know, software always controls your iSight. Most apps, including all Apple apps of which I am aware, automatically make the iSight settings for you and do NOT allow you to manipulate them from within the application.

In my own case, I have found that merely adding more light to my work room has allowed the automatic settings to give me adequate iSight images.

However, if you want to take manual control, the iGlasses2 add-on lets you manipulate many of the features that iSight (and many other compatible webcams) offer. Note that iGlasses2 may not work with every applications that can work with your camera.

You can get iGlasses2 here: http://www.ecamm.com/mac/iglasses/

System requirements and compatibility info is available there.
