ecamm releases iGla es 1.4

iGla es, the software-based iSight video enhancer, has been upgraded to version 1.4. iGla es is basically a bundle of video filters that allow you to proce the iSight signal to enhance brightne or add ecial effects (like "night vision").

There are several new features of note introduced in version 1.4. First is the iGla es Manager. It allows you to switch iGla es on and off on a per-a lication basis, so you can use the filters in, say, iChat, but not in iMovie. Second, you can now use iGla es in many more a licatio . Version 1.4 includes su ort for Comic Life, Delicious Library, Camfrog, jmeeting, WebcamTweaker, Cam i er, Fu y Photographer, CamGra er, and more. Finally, 1.4 introduces enhanced A leScript scriptability. I'm sure you can use the scriptability for some sort of twisted April Fool's prank, but I'm u ure as to what else it might be helpful for.

You can buy a copy of iGla es for $8 at the ecamm we ite, which i 't a huge amount of money, but be aware that a lot of this same functionality looks like it will be built into Leopard's iChat when it bows later this year.
