Bug USB Capture box colour (or Color in US english) matching.

[Robin M C]

I have found a bug that is avoidable if you know the trick.
I am running OBS 25.0.3 + dfsg1-2 LINUX on an HP Pavilion g6 with Lubuntu 20.04.
I am using it to record services from the local church with a view to streaming the services when the church broadband is upgraded.
When I connect my Capture card , a Sxtlico HD Video 180PS it all works OK.
The camera I am using is a Pansonic HC-V180 and is a bit lacking in contrast, looking soft and washed out.
I wanted to tweak it & so tried the sliders provided in the "properties for Video capture device". They did nothing.
I discovered that if I select the laptops own camera, then the sliders do work. If I then switch back to the external source, then the new settings seem to be applied to that input.
I don't seem to have a LUT facility on this version although it is discuses extensively on YouTube.
The software is otherwise working well & I was impressed with the built in Audio tools.
I see that Version: 26.0.2 is available obsproject.com but I have so far stuck to the version on the Software Center. Will an upgrade fix this bug?
Thanks Robin

I have just installed 26.0.2 on my own laptop & I have no control over the USB capture device. It looks as if I was mistaken about the changes made on the internal camera being retained on the external. I was confused by changes I had made to the camera settings. The sliders for Brightness, Contrast, Gama, Sharpness & Saturation are all blue & the sliders move, but the pictures don't change. It could be that the capture card is not up to the job. I don't know where the corrections are applied. Is it done in the computer or in the capture device?

I was mistaken about being mistaken. The corrections do transfer to the external device, but only if you click OK before changing inputs.
