CamMask

CamMask is a user-friendly application whose main function is to provide you with the ability to add numerous fun effects and filters to the images captured by your webcam.

Once you install the program and connect your camera to the computer, you will be able to start recording videos immediately, which you can save to your computer. You can also use as a source an existing movie, an image collection or even your desktop.

CamMask organizes its countless effects in categories, for instance 'Distortions', 'Filters', 'Face Substitution', 'Backgrounds', 'Scenes', 'Borders', 'Accessories', 'Emotions', 'Particles', 'Animations', 'Funny Objects', 'Date and Time', 'Text Over Video' and 'Doodle'.

The application allows you to adjust the image settings, such as 'Brightness', 'Contrast', 'Red', 'Green' and 'Blue'. Similarly, you can flip the video vertically or horizontally as well as rotate it left or right by ninety degrees. You can use the 'Detect Face' tool which will try to determine the existence and position of a human face in the video. You can even grab screenshots and save them to your PC.

From the 'Distortions' category, you can use the 'Flow Cover', 'Swirl', 'Tiler', 'Cross-Eyed', 'Double Magnify' and other effects. The 'Filters' section contains effects namely 'Monochrome', 'Stained Glass', 'Blur', 'Ghost', 'Emboss' or 'Sharpen', while the 'Face Substitution' group features a series of male and female faces that you can use to replace the one in the current video.

Moreover, the 'Backgrounds' tab features several pictures which can replace the solid-color background of your video, whereas the 'Particles' category contains various animations, for example 'Hellfire', 'Rain', 'Colorful Bubble' or 'Hearts' which can be applied onto the surface of the movie. In a side panel, you will be able to view a list of all the currently used effects, letting you remove them with just one click.

To conclude, CamMask is an entertaining and easy to use utility that is bundled with effects and filters, enabling you to record creative videos, that you can save on your computer or share with friends and family.
