Probably get a better response by posting an image, rather than a PDF.
I'm sorry being a newby at OBS I don't understand why posting a PDF is a no no. Can you tell me how to take a screen shot that is small enough to post on the forums? please

Once again sorry for my confusion. here is a better jpeg, I am having a hard time adjusting the main output when I can't see it. Can you help me?

I don't quite understand what you're trying to show and what's your issue. If you record your monitor with a webcam, and on your monitor you're showing OBS with the preview of your webcam, you get an "endless mirror" effect, that's unavoidable.

I'd assume that you want the small square-aspect of your webcam to fill the whole canvas? You can do that by switching from Device Default to 1920x1080 in the Source Properties box (lower-left in your screenshot).
Alternately, if you'd like to make the recording canvas smaller, you can right-click the webcam in the Sources list, and select "Resize Output (Source Size)".

Beyond that, we need a better description of what you're trying to do, and what you're having a problem with to be able to help. We really don't understand what you mean, sorry. :/
What part in that screenshot can you not see? As in, when you're facing away from the computer, toward the camera? A mirror could help, or doing a test recording?

As a tip, to take quick and easy screenshot selections, hit WIN+SHIFT+S to activate the Snipping Tool, then click and drag to highlight the part of the screen you want to grab. You can then CTRL+V right into your post here on the forum.

How can I adjust the color of the output

I simply wondered why the color on the main page seemed more than the color on the properties screen.
Thanks

They may be different because you may have added a video filter to the source in OBS, or you may have configured some "enhance colors" setting within your video card driver settings.
