CHEESE(1)                        User Commands                       CHEESE(1)

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 Raphaƫl 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 ;)
