Crowd sourcing better vacation photos

This idea came to me while walking past tourist taking their personal photos around MIT's campus, how often are your photos ruined by other people walking by, taking their own photos etc.. probably a lot.  Practiced photographers will take many photos to increase their chance of a great picture, but what about those of us with less time? What if we could pool our images, popular tourist spots could have a pool of hundreds or thousands of photographs that could be merged into a useful template.  Now if you want a romantic picture of you and your date, or to change the sky from overcast to true sky blue. A series of smart algorithms would allow you to easily change a seen, to just the people you are with, or the scenery around you.

Some examples to be added (6/8/2016).  Photoshop's tool that allows you to eliminate tourists, microsoft's photosynth.

Friends with photoshop skills if you would be willing I would love to collaborate on making a few mockup images
