lighting is the magic!
I use the L-Quickcam Pro 9000, and it did take quite a time to get the quality as I wanted.
And it would be nice with a few more details. Two lines of words does not make a topic.
If you already know the settings, mind posting a picture of them?
Because it's not only the "Settings" part that should be tweaked. You see; in the outline of the box, there should be a logo of an Owl. Click it, and find the correct exposure. The more light you get onto your set, the less exposuring is needed.
I would say, as mario72 alrady said, light is the key.
At least 2 lamps should be around the set. If they don't make a lot of heat, cover them with paper. (If anyone has a neat picture of that kind of set up?)
i use the settings like BertL said, and i have one 60 watt daylight bulb (relax its just a bulb) that produces a white/light blue light, and i use a small 60 watt bulb that gives off a yellow tint. (yes its the tiny kind that can be found in some tv's)
I think im going to make a video tutorial on this in 2 weeks, as a lot of people seem to ask this question, either to me or other animators.
Watch out for it

another thing: it seems to have better quality in monkeyjam than it is in the capture program.
mode edit: First, don't double post. Second, never post if all you have to say is something like "superextrafunlammafilledadventuretime!"
Helium Frog is better at full quality .png at 1280x720. Monkey Jam doesn't have onionskinning or widescreen.
I see what you mean, SteveStarfyTV. I have the same problem. I fiddled around with the settings. I put the exposure up high, the brightness down a bit. And it fitted my liking. But yes, it isn't the same quality as some people like Emma.
