After reading John's email, I think he's pretty much on track.  The gamma
correction and cropping features would be nice and not impossible to
implement (and could result in some better looking pictures), but the
features which give a site sticky-ness are probably what are going to
get people to keep coming back.

One thought which I started tossing around was adding types of media (like
PDF's or PostScript files) instead of just jpegs which could be
thumbnailed and be presented in a similiar fashion.  That could end up being a
really useful tool for collaborative projects across the net, but I'm not
sure if it's the right direction for ids..
