Sweet! 
How about this: Let footprints contain a file name of an macro image
from the top. Then, the photo mode could use the image to render a 
populated board. ;-)

BTW, shadows can be rendered with a little image-magick: 

convert /tmp/out.png \
  \( +clone -background black -shadow 75x20+20+20 \)  +swap \
  -background white \
  -layers merge \
  -resize 50% \
  $OUTPNG_BOTTOM
