I tried Layervault, but I didn't like how it takes a 'snapshot' everytime I save - since I was saving to prevent crashes and losing my work, not because I felt it was it a good place to call it a separate version. Then I'd end up with a ton of versions on LV, most of them not true versions.

What are your thoughts on this?

OP here - I also have the Cmd-S habit and get tons of versions in my timeline. But I actually would prefer to have that, because I don't usually pause all the time and think to "save" a version that I want to show for process later.

They also have a "Signpost" feature which lets you mark real versions, which you probably want to be using instead. (Might not have been there when you tried them first.)

That being said, my use of LayerVault is purely as a backup since I'm the only designer on the team.. and I just email out mockups via screenshots.
