LayerVault

LayerVault takes a visual approach to a hosted version control service aimed squarely at designers. With a host of tools allowing you to step back through revisions, share and collaborate, it looks like a well-considered and useful service, especially if most of your work is of a visual nature and you have an aversion to the command line.

Even if this doesn’t describe you, you should take the tour and explore some of the rather elegant solutions to what are inherently complicated engineering problems.
