Steve:

Absolutely brilliant! Raises all sorts of fascinating possibilities... Say a
slide show...

For the fb4/osx challenged person like myself how would you:

1) render the background as black? Put an nn pixel wide box around the
image?

2) fade one image into a different image with a differing aspect ratio but
identical longest dimension. Ie center both images in a common square?

3) instead of a button to render opaque to transparent and vice versa would
it be possible to do this in even .01 increments over user-definable periods
of time, say 2 seconds, or 0.5 of a second?

4) would it be possible to cross-fade from image a to image b where image a
goes from opaque to transparent while simultaneously image b goes from
transparent to opaque?
