4.1. Details:
Cheese is a GNOME application designed to take photos and videos
from a webcam, apply fancy special effects to them and share them
with the others.
Cheese is built on top of GStreamer. GStreamer is a library for
constructing of graphs of media-handling components. Cheese uses
GStreamer to grab the photos and videos from the webcam
and apply various graphical effects to them.
Cheese's simple interface is fairly straightforward to use. Cheese
provides the following features:
* Capture and save photos/videos
* Apply multiple effects (Mauve, Hulk, Edge etc.) at a time.
* View photos and videos with the default application
* Display thumbnails of photos/videos
* Send a photo by e-mail
* Set a photo as Account Photo
* Countdown timer
* Config resolution
