Change preferences for built-in isight camera?

I have a MacBook Air Rev C, 120GB, and it has a built-in isight camera. I wanted to change the video settings as I look really dark on camera and looked for isight in Applications and couldn't find it. Is that because you can't change any settings for isight camera?

Powerbook G4 Panther 1Ghz 120GB, MacBook Air 1.86GHz 120GB, Mac OS X (10.3.x), Nil

Add light to the room is the best fix: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3097

iSight apps adjust automatically when your video area is bright enough.

Seems like iGlasses is still the only way to configure the iSight... I hope Apple add a preference pane in System Preferences for it soon. It shouldn't be a paid-for privilege just to adjust the contrast or brightness.
