The combination of GPS information and compass heading in the EXIF of pictures is quite mighty. Here An idea what can be done with this information: With latitude, date and time + image direction it is possible to compute the light mood that is to be expected on the photos. EXAMPLE: You need a picture of a car with warm evening light from the left to photoshop this into an other picture. So you click on an icon: "Sunset +-30min and light from left" A proof of concept has been done by students!
