Viewing image file history with Time-lapse View

Time-lapse View for images provides an interactive graphical representation of an image file’s history, showing changes, who made the changes, and when the changes were made. Time-lapse View enables you to view changes as a slideshow or browse forward and back through changes dynamically. Detail panes at the bottom of the window provide more information about selected revisions.
