i like the idea of an image viewer type of window and camera icons in
the profile.
but i'm slightly against doing anything further with marble. :\

clicking on the profile icons will trigger the window showing a
particular picture with some data on the side like time and depth.

actually here is a quick mockup:

the same window could be invoked from another location e.g. the "View" menu.
in a case when an image is missing from disk (or web, but the web
integration is more complicated), we could show on the right "image
not found" and the user will be able to change the URI at any time or
add or delete images with the buttons bellow.

just some ideas...
