My name's Sebastian, I'm a photographer, and I have a problem: I take lots of photos at an excruciatingly high resolution. If 20 megabyte RAW files weren't bad enough, by the time each photo goes through my Photoshop workflow they're 50-100MB each.
But that's OK -- I just keep buying terabyte drives. I'm a junky like that! The real problems occur when it comes to editing: sometimes I make destructive changes and save the file.
Now, any good graphic designer will tell you that destructive changes should always be avoided -- you never alter the original image! But the fact is, shit happens. Even if you never make mistakes, it's still very nice to have an entire changelog of every alteration you make. Maybe you change some text, save, close, go home for the day -- and then, the next day, your boss wants you to revert back to the original text.
That's where Timeline enters the fray. Timeline, through a neat, easy-to-use UI links Photoshop to a Subversion (SVN) repository.
