wow. a potential shell of the future will do these kinds of transforms for everything in your field of view.

One of the main advantages of doing something like this in Mathematica is that you can trivially replicate operations for many images. Sure, you can write PhotoShop scripts; I’ve done that many times, and every time I end up swearing at the thing wishing I could use a real language (and now that Mathematica 7 is out, I finally can). Beyond a certain level of complexity it’s simply not efficient to mess around with dialog boxes and script editors: you want a real language with a real syntax and a real API.
