If you develop in Photoshop, you’ve fairly had designs which branched in error from the novel look, based on your own ideas or indefatigable feedback. This has, more than stand ready, resulted in multiple files with names like mockup1.psd, mockup1b.psd, mockup2.psd, etc. The deciphering would be what coders comprehend as Version Control, something which allows you to “commit” any variation of your contract to a repository, letting you bounce back omit during the course of circular from variation to variation, making changes without worrying muddled losing pick of those branches you went in error on as an enquiry. Version monism systems like Subversion and Git can do this repayment for you, but there’s a culture curve and a unequivocal amount of geekery required to cajole it develop smoothly.
Timeline from PixelNovel aims to embezzle the “geek” requirements old-fashioned of using variation monism in Photoshop. If you don’t comprehend what Subversion is, that’s ok. Timeline goes beyond other options and uses a Subversion repository to pile up any rewrite of your headway while working on a Photoshop arrange.

Timeline severely shows you a racket of previews of versions you’ve chosen to conserve, and you can bounce back omit during the course of muddled in passВ with a yoke up of clicks. Make a swap, be in pile up for it, bounce back omit during the course of to a contrasting variation. all in a shining, insignificant toolbar.
Timeline offers two ways of handling the repositories inevitable repayment for it to drive. You can enlist in comments (a be in pile up for meaning repayment for those already svn-savvy) to each rewrite, which is to hand whether you’re working purely or collaborating. The least geeky alternative is to utilization their hosted Subversion rite, which provides easy-to-use collaboration options, a network interface and unintentional backup.

It’s at this point in passВ the passВ being at a underwriting emolument, but signing up includes a duplicate of the plugin repayment for freed. Alternatively, you can lessor your own Subversion repository, which isn’t extremely knotty.
I spoke with the developers of Timeline muddled the inchoate repayment for a Git variation, and it’s something they’re looking into. This avoids both the hosting emolument and (if you day-dream up a restricted repository on your own computer) the call for to download your revisions from a lessor. For protection, albeit, the Subversion method is working fairly properly.

If you habitually perspective yourself with a folder fruity of poorly-titled versions of a contract, and flipping between them is getting to be a ass effort, it’s unmistakably something to evaluation. The plugin itself compel count you $60US and - if you embezzle the hosted avenue - an account runs $5US repayment for 5GB of storage, or $20US repayment for 25GB.
[Side note: For the Git-inclined, I've create that the previews in GitX combined with a some projectile scripts can victual a properly brought up (but less integrated and robust) versioning combination repayment for Photoshop and other graphics applications.]
