RightBooth 6.0.37 Can Provide a Solution

We would always advise you to try and resolve hardware specific issues by contacting the supplier or manufacturer of the webcam, but if you cannot find a solution this way, we can at least provide you with a software 'fix' for when you are using your webcam in RightBooth 6.

​RightBooth version 6.0.37 has introduced a new Video Setting: 'Mirror Y'.

To use this setting:

• Run RightBooth 6

Your upside down video will now be resolved while you are using RightBooth.
