What Hacker News says
6 sourcesI would love to see this integrated with something like GitHub's image diff presenter.
Example: https://github.com/cameronmcefee/Image-Diff-View-Modes/commi...
Information: https://github.com/blog/817-behold-image-view-modes
In Wraith – A screenshot comparison tool from the BBCGitHub supports that. Commits (on any branch) that change images display the images inline, and you can comment on those commits. Example commit: https://github.com/cameronmcefee/Image-Diff-View-Modes/commi...
In The NYT's Visual Election Outcome Explorer - How we made the D3 decision treeiguana and gecko look good, but chameleon and huey are a bit off..
chameleon gives you 50% more storage and clients than iguana, but costs way more.. $132 would give it about the same relative value, but it's $158..
I'm ignoring the number of clients cause I don't believe $26 is a good price for 5 extra clients. maybe it is, but it's a lot less clear to the end user.
Also, another similar service that might be worth checking out (a lot more complicated for designers but quite cool and cheaper): https://github.com/blog/817-behold-image-view-modes
and here is a demo

In Bootstrapped. 10 Months. Learned Rails. Finally Launched. Feedback Please?GitHub's new image compare mode[1][2] would work really well for designers*

I think the problem is introducing the IDEA of version control to designers. Once they grok the idea, they usually like it. But with the exception of web designers, most designers aren't introduced to the concept.
*I was a designer before I was a developer
In Github for designersGitHub now has view modes for image diffs.
