4. Technical Description:
    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
