I am using cheese and the WebCam is putting right left the wrong way round. Is there a way to solve this? It's an annoying problem, don't know why developers don't put this switch in to the basic options setting menu. Many inbuilt webcams have this problem even the windows programs, but before you could get up the camera main Chicony Camera Assistant Software. Thanks

  • I'm not sure, but, i think you can use the left-to-right effect in combination with other effects. I think you can also set it in the settings?

You can set it to left-to-right position in the effects tab in combination with other effects. The Horizontal flip.

  • Thanks, I gave up in the end, I thought there would be options in the Master camera setting in settings but no. Ill just have to use cheese and the option you said about. Thanks!

The reason it is back to front is so that it feels more natural when you are trying to line something up on the camera. People are not used to looking at a non-mirrored reflection of themselves and it can be dis-oreientating if you haven't used it before.

Here is someone elses solution to this issue: How can I horizontally invert the video output of the webcam

It is more complicated than you would like but if it works you could update your application launchers with the fix.

Go to effects and choose "flip" effect. Thats it!!
