Waiting for the image is not the optimal solution for what he's trying to do.
I would, instead, hide the `::view-transition-new` while the image is loading and only show it when it's loading, or if they want something simple, hide the `::view-transition-new` at all in this case.

If they absolutely want to wait and only animate the hi-res image, pause the animation and change the play-state when the image loads. 

Either way, "waiting until new state capture" is not necessary.
