Hi there,

in my app I want to have a light table to sort photos. Basically it's
just a huge view with lots of photos in it and you can drag the photos
around. Photos can overlap, they don't fall into a grid like in
iPhoto.

So every photo needs to respond to mouse events. Do I make every photo
into its own view? Or are views too expensive to create? I want to
easily support 100+ photos or more. (I will downsample the images for
performance.)

Photos need to be in layers as well so I can change the stacking
order. Do I use CoreAnimation for this?

I don't need finished source code just some pointers and general
ideas. I will (try to) figure out the implementation myself.

Fwiw, I target 10.5+, I use Obj-C 2.0 and garbage collection.

Thanks in advance!
