NAME

       cheese - tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam

SYNOPSIS

       cheese [option...]

DESCRIPTION

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