Hi.

i have sometimes similar pictures and try to find the best of  them. A "lighttable" would be very handsome for this job. I think of the following workflow...
1. Open the Lighttable as a small window (perhaps a sidebar)
2. Use drag and drop to put the photos in there (normally 3, 4, 5 or so)
3. Resize the Lighttable to full screen -> the thumbs of all pictures in there will be increased to a size that they all fit in the lighttable
4. I select some of the pictures using the mouse for a closer look and use the wheel on the mouse to increase their preview size -> this leeds to a smaller size for the pictures that i did'nt have selected (would be 
really cool, if the unselected pictures move to the border of the window while the selected windows move to the center).

This function would make it much easier to compare pictures manually to find the one that i like best.
