[Feature] Photo changes in web viewer should not cause a "black flash".

I have searched the existing feature requests, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate request.

The feature

When viewing single photos in an album and then switching back and forth between images still in maximized "single photo" view, it seems like there is a short delay between the old photo disappearing and the new photo appearing. This looks like a black "blink".

This is really distracting, especially when the images are bright and viewed on a large screen since the brightness of the whole image drops to ~zero for a split second before getting bright again. Very uneasy on the eyes.

As an example how to do it better, check google photos where no black frame is inserted and size changes are smooth.

Just hunted this down because it bugs me as well

It's due to this line here: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/blob/main/web/src/lib/components/asset-viewer/asset-viewer.svelte#L494

Swap the === to !== and the transition goes away (my use-case was for comparing and contrasting assets in the duplicate tool which it fading to black was making... difficult 😄 )
