Morphing.
It is simple in concept, but a pain
in the ass to get good results.

No kidding.
I have two cgi filters, and they both suffer greatly from the 99% of stuff sucks.
Live for the 1%, and let the people give it a shot. It's much more interesting, and when someone gets a winner, the post it.

I don't want this to be named after me, but the first five submissions will include a goatse. I have no idea why.

Unlikely to get that effect from a blind filter.
Those are a hand done gag. That said, there is a few papers
and code out there that might be able to get close. Some of
the work on panorama stitching and multi image alignment
could be applied, but it'd be a very CPU intensive operation.

BTW: Keep pounding on those filter ideas. They are interesting.

Sure, blind sumbission, learning curve, and occasionally, genius.
But I see no reason not to let fly. Also, it is truly fascinating to see what people try. Vanity, hyperbole, an amazing spectrum of the zeitgeist.

Great hack that, getting people to fill your source image folder for you.
