Fading between snapshots? Is this doable?

I'd like to be able to select two snapshots of a photo and create a version in between. So far I haven't found any plugin that will do this (peek poke is the closest), so I'm thinking of writing my own plugin in LUA. Is this something that could be achieved? Does LUA scripting have access to this data?

If you goal is to create a new photo, e.g. virtual copy, then you can read both snapshots, then create and apply a plugin develop preset which has in-between settings (e.g. to a virtual copy).

Or, are you talking about fading in a UI display (view component).

I'm not really interested in creating a virtual copy. Would this be required? Just had a look at the plugin The Fader (Adobe - Lightroom Extension), which does exactly what I'm looking for: Apply all settings from one state to the currently visible state via a slider (with immediate visual feedback).

But it only does that for presets and I'd need it for snapshots...

No - you can apply plugin-computed develop preset to any photo.
