Exactly, I want it to scan my photos and organize them by putting the best shots first. On a more plausible note, it should not be too hard to write some image processing filters that detect when nothing is in focus (yes, I can see cases of false positives), when the raw data is severely clipped, and probably even blurs by camera motion and propose those shots as probable rejects. I shoot dancers a lot, and the lighting at dances tends to be very uneven. Occasionally someone in, for example, a red shirt may dance with, or next to someone with a white shirt, allowing me to set the color balance. I'd like to then be able to mark that shirt as that shade of red, or beige, or whatever and use that to set the color balance for every scene that dancer is in, whether or not someone is wearing white or grey. Yes, I know that with a highly saturated color, it would work miserably. -- The fastest way to get your question answered on the net is to post the wrong answer.
