Hi David.. geez.. that's bizzare. Yes, for most lower surface brightness objects
especially, you'll definitely need to have access to humping the saturation
level up.

Have you tried uninstalling the capture driver completely and do a full
reinstall? Perhaps our guru Chris can shed some light?


Cheers
Steve

that the driver settings for my USB Capture card are probably the culprit. I'm
using an EasyCap brand dongle in my Acer Netbook which runs Windows 7. Turns out
the "Video Proc Amp" tab on my driver settings has all the adjustements greyed
out! I basically have no abilty to change contrast, brightness etc. I've tried
downloading & installing a few other driver versions, but all have the same
issue. Doing a search on eBay it seems 90% of the USB cards sold are this same
EasyCap brand, so I fear purchasing another will be no different as it will
probably use the same chipset.
