Hi i've just install yawcam and its a really great little program but I have a problem. I've notice that when I use yawcam in service mode sending pictures through ftp and when using the releasecam hack that the pictures that are capture are really dark. almost completely black and unusable. is there something I can do to solve this problem? I would really appreciate it cause I must absolutely use the releasecamera hack. when I don't use it the pictures are ok.
Thanks for any help
problem with really dark pictures please help.

Give it a try without the release camera hack, because I have a feeling the reason the shots are so dark is that the webcam is still calibrating when the shots are taken, if the shots were taken a few seconds later, they would be ok, but the webcam would have to be initialized first, so in your case, releasecamera might not work.
after checking the pictures taken today i'm sure your right about the initialisation of the camera problem. Is there a way it could be fixed in a future version of yawcam. something like a setting option to initialise the cam a few seconds before the capture. Don't know if its doable but that would fix the problem. That would be great Thanks a lot for the help
