[Bug 345080] Re: iSight camera images have green/purple tint

 

I was able to fix it by using the previous version of the v4l webcam driver:
Download the .deb at the bottom of this page:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/libv4l-0

Go to the directory you downloaded it, run:
sudo dpkg -i ./libv4l-0_0.5.0-3~intrepid1_i386.deb
