How to adjust webcam image on Skype?

My Microsoft Lifecam VX-2000 webcam works with Skype and Cheese, but the image is a little dark on Skype. I adjust it on Cheese but the changes don't reflect in Skype (I think this was expected anyway). Also during the installation of Ubuntu when it prompts if I wanna take a picture with my webcam the image was crystal clear, in Cheese and Skype the image is a little curly.

How I can adjust the image to make it look brighter and less curly, if possible?

Use guvcview, which is a GTK+ interface for Linux USB Video Class (UVC) devices. It will allow you to make adjustments to the web camera.

To install this in Ubuntu via the terminal, type sudo apt-get install guvcview. Or you can install it via the Ubuntu Software Center or other dpkg-frontends.
