    Default Hd make me look creepy!

    Hey everyone. I'm brand spanking new at this and have a Webcam question.
    So, I have used my Mac's built-in cam for random things in the past and have always been happy with the quality and my appearance on the cam. However, I just bought a logitech C910 because I read great reviews.
    And yikes, I hate the way it makes me look! It's like "Oh hey there's my every wrinkle and pore!" It makes my skin look really blotchy and I just don't look like me. I have seen other models using HD cams and they look fantastic. Whats the deal?
    Does HD look different/worse on our end than it does on the customer's end?

    the cam quality does degrade a little from what you see on your end to what actually streams depending on what site..but not too much.
    lighting is ur friend, play with placement/ # of lights, pink light bulbs, natural light, even the colors of ur background can affect how your skin looks and also you can always adjusting settings in a program like splitcam.

    I look horrific using my c910...it makes me look like I have some kind of weird skin disease. My c920 is very different though, although it shows every pore and wrinkle, my skin at least looks as it is, not diseased!

    I spend a good 10 minutes or so before going on messing with my cam settings to try and not look creepy. I'm still never convinced that I look normal, though. Adjusting lighting, makeup, even posing certain ways helps me out, but HD is one tough cookie to deal with.

    Makeup. It's definitely your friend. Blush takes me from washed out to rosy and under eye concealer is a wonder invention. Getting a tan always makes you look better, just don't over do it and look like an ooompa loompa in one of those spray booths.

    Not looking normal is a good thing, right? If you are worried about someone recognizing you the less like you that you look the better. I think I look normal but someone else told me that I look totally different than in person.

    I mean normal as in non-creepy, more or less.

    Lighting lighting lighting. lighting.

    When I switched from a low end HD cam to my logitech I cannot express how horrid I looked hahaha. Lighting has made all the difference and I cake my face with makeup but try and make it look 'natural' on cam (have I ever expressed how hard that is? it's hard -______- why do i do the girl next door niche again?) But no seriously, lighting and then experimenting with the settings on the cam. I always have my exposure and brightness set higher then the auto setting and I tweek the saturation and I'm good to go.

    I much prefer my c920 to my c910, I look a lot better with the c920 and it's better for filming as the files are smaller (but always widescreen).

    I've had my c920 and my c910 side by side and the difference in how they make me look is very marked.

    I like how I look with my c910! I've not tried the c920 so I don't know how I'd look using that, but come on - could I look any more fabulous?

    logitech stopped making the 910 bc its not true HD , it is still available, not in stores or logitech. You can find it online.

    There is a big difference. If you can just go ahead and go with 920.

    910 is available on amazon etc but you can find 920 for same price

    I had the same issues on my Logitech when I first started. I was shocked at how terrible I look but you can fix that with good lighting and there's a camera setting that you can adjust in the HD Encoder.

    I hate the 910 too, but I do these things:

    -Blast my face with light.

    -In the encoder, tick the button next to the camera and adjust the saturation and contrast settings UP just a little (I'm white with dark hair, it may be different for others).

    -I always have problems with undereye circles, so I wear a LOT of concealer and sometimes white eyeshadow. Still, I think lighting is the best for skin tone and looking less dead.

    Def go with the 920 if you are buying new. Besides, I didn't think that they MADE the 910 any more, so you shouldn't be able to find it!

    As for looking creepy - well, same as everyone else has said. Trowel on the makeup, turn on all the lights....and play with the settings! I never use the "right light" as I look bizzare - all about tweaking the color, gain, exposure...and finding that perfect point.
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.
