functionality. It does require a bunch of python modules, all of which<br>
are readily apt-gettable.<br>
<br>

Still to do -<br>
exif tags - GPS coordinates, link back to makers local<br>
Makers Logo<br>
Popup a window with the final image.<br>
Resize the window to UPMC size, kill the taskbar.<br>
<br>
Mystery Mode has not been implemented. If someone has a stock of<br>
images to put in, it should be fairly easy to load up a random image<br>
to do so<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
