NAME

6       cheese - tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam
7

SYNOPSIS

9       cheese [option...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       cheese uses your webcam to take photos and videos, applies fancy
13       special effects and lets you share the fun with others. It was written
14       as part of Google's 2007 Summer of Code lead by daniel g. siegel and
15       mentored by Raphaël Slinckx. Under the hood, Cheese uses GStreamer to
16       apply fancy effects to photos and videos. With Cheese it is easy to
17       take photos of you, your friends, pets or whatever you want and share
18       them with others. After the success of the Summer of Code, the
19       development continued and we are still looking for people with nice
20       ideas and patches ;)
