  This feature is

  1. for fast and efficient debugging iterations
     and
  2. also well positioned to help people with less experience on the server administration and Unix / Raspberry Pi OS side of things.

  Access to the debug panel is available through the admin panel (switch to expert view) or via direct URL http://localhost/admin/debugpanel.php.

• Removed unneeded file-type checks all around the Photobooth api (we check for jpeg images already inside the api/applyEffects.php)
