Y'know what my immediate thought was? Slightly beyond the scope of a cool demo, but anyway. I'm sure some of you saw that thing about intelligent photo resizing a while back ( http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/08/27/i-want-this-in-photoshop-immediately/ )
It works by finding low-energy places in the picture, and making adjustments to them. The inverse also works, you can find high-energy locations which are likely to be areas of interest. So, as a pre-processing step (I don't know if this would be possible in Laszlo or not, actually), find those areas for each picture, and bias the zooming and panning to go towards them. That way, it will usually appear to be heading towards an object of interest (a person, a feature, or whatever). Just thinking this because I noticed it panning away from people, which looks strange. -- Robin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> JabberID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hostes alienigeni me abduxerunt. Qui annus est?
