GraphicConverter and Pixelmator are two I know of which support Autosave
and Versions.

GraphicConverter has a setting to disable it and use the old document
model. I don't think Pixelmator has.

If the document is in a "regionally compressed" or uncompressed format,
then changes in a small area of the graphics file may not require much
space in the Versions database.

Large scale changes in graphics files could occupy a lot of space.
(Versions will reduce its space usage over time, as it prunes old
versions on a similar basis to Time Machine pruning old backups down to
one per hour, day, or week.)

Does Graphic Converter save multiple copies of 100MB images?

"Could"? Have you tested this?

I haven't used a version of GraphicConverter which is new enough to
support autosave and versions, so I can't answer that.

I haven't used Pixelmator for anything serious since I upgraded to Lion,
but can do a quick test.

I don't have any 100 MB images handy to test with Pixelmator, but I do
have some photos (JPEG) which are in the order of 5 MB.

Given the chunking model used by Versions, it is reasonable to assume
that changes to graphics files will occupy a significant amount of space
in the Versions database, if the changes affect a significant portion of
the pixel data in the file. Most common edits are likely to fall into
this category (e.g. colour corrections, cropping).

I opened a 5 MB JPEG in Pixelmator. It opened as an untitled document in
Pixelmator's native format. When saved, the Pixelmator document was
about 72 MB. (Pixelmator supports Photoshop-like features such as
layers, and I expect its native format has the image in a lossless
compression format or uncompressed.)

Doing several edits (drawing random brush strokes on top of a photo,
replacing the whole thing with a gradient fill, reverting to the
original photo, doing some colour adjustments), my
/.DocumentRevisions-V100 folder ballooned from 24 MB to 281 MB. (The 24
MB would have included all edits I had previously done in Pages,
TextEdit, etc. since I upgraded to Lion back in May, minus any that have
been automatically culled by the ageing algorithm.)

At this point, the Versions view showed the current document and five
entries in the timeline (the last one being the time I last saved the
document, so that may only count as four versions in the database).

One of the images in the versions database (the gradient fill) is very
simple and only requires 25 MB when saved. That adds up to about
72*3+25=241 MB of identifiable data assuming the entire file was saved
in the versions database each time, therefore there is either some
additional overhead or the last saved state is also there and some space
was able to be saved by chunking in the edit where I drew over the
image.

I then did another simple edit: added an empty layer and then deleted it
again. The Versions database is now 352 MB, and the version history grew
by one entry. The increase (111 MB) suggests the data being written into
the versions database is larger than the file size.

Sure, and it would be reasonable to assume that editing photos in iPhoto

iPhoto is completely irrelevant to any discussion of Versions, since it
doesn't use that mechanism.

I wouldn't think it was reasonable to assume that about iPhoto, since
iPhoto has no way to browse through earlier edits and pick one. Its only
"revision" handling is undo of recent edits in the current session, or
revert to original. The only images retained by iPhoto on disk are the
original and latest edited version (plus thumbnails).

Versions stores chaged chunks of files in its database, so it is
reasonable to assume that a change affecting most of an image will
require most of the image to be stored in the database again, if the
document happens to be captured by Versions at that point in time
(either due to an explicit "Save a Version", or a timed save, or
whatever).

Judging from some analysis done by other people (see below), Versions
appears to be using a new file system feature in Lion which allows
unchanged portions of files to be shared between multiple versions, only
needing to store the changed chunks and constructing a full file by
assembling chunks from various places. (Somewhat like hard links, but
operating on portions of files rather than entire files.)

Versions has a pruning mechanism similar to Time Machine (keeping fewer
old versions than recent ones), and this operates without the
involvement of the application.

Because of these implementation details, it is not possible for an
application to store proprietary delta change information (such as a
sequence of commands) in the version database: the actual data in the
file must be saved each time, but the chunking mechanism allows only the
changed portions to occupy disk space (plus some overhead).

Given the way that Pages (for example) stores its documents as a zipped
folder, I expect that Versions is smart enough to expand that and only
save the chunks of the contained files which have changed. From my own
observations of the database, Versions may use different methods to
store the chunks depending on the file type, perhaps only using the
"entire file" model described above in the fallback case.

Apple doesn't document anything about how Versions works, but others
have done some behind the scenes analysis.

Here is Apple's document summarising Versions from the user's point of
view:

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4753

Ars Technica had some useful background in their Lion review:

<http://arstechnica.com/apple/2011/07/mac-os-x-10-7/14/#versioning-inter
nals>

This article delves deeper into the internals of the Versions database,
and links to others which may be useful:

Glad to be of service.

A further update: since yesterday, my DocumentRevisions-V100 folder is
down to 280 MB again but the Versions view still shows six versions of
the document. It must have done some housekeeping. It appears to not be
automatically deleting versions I'd explicitly saved.

Cropping even one pixel on left or top probably pretty much screws up 
chunking.  And a slight tweak of contrast would generally mean ALL the 
file has changed.

Time Machine (TM) does not use chunking.  If the file has changed, TM 
saves a complete copy of the entire new file.  If it has not changed, TM 
makes a hardlink to the earlier version.

Chunking is a good way to save space, but it probably doesn't work with 
images.

I consider almost all the objections to Lion to be minor (loss of Rosetta 
being the major exception), but find the changes to mail to be useless.  
After trying the new mail setup, I clicked the "Use Classic Layout" 
checkbox; if Apple had not included that option, I would have been deeply 
annoyed.

I prefer having separate windows for message lists and messages themselves 
to an integrated window.  (Yes, I know that you can open messages in their 
own windows, but you can't automatically open the next message when 
deleting the current one, as you could in Claris Emailer, so it's pretty 
worthless.)

Me too.  I've kept the default Lion version of mail on one of my
computers just so I could try to figure out if I might get to like it
better.  I haven't.

There is a minor annoyance of mail that continues to bother me.  Many
of my correspondents have varied "from" addresses, but there is a
string that occurs in all of them (e.g. their last name).

I'd like to be able to search for all email with "schwarzkopf"
contained in the from field.  I can do this of course, using a smart
mailbox, but I'd like to be able to do it from the search field of
Mail as I used to be able to.

That's what I though would do it, but when I tried it with my surname, it 
returned only messages I sent (and received in mailing lists and the like), 
and none sent by any of my relatives.  It works sorta with other first and 
last names.  But when I entered "from:person" to search for messages from 
someone whose last name is "Person", it gave me her messages, but also one 
with "Personal" in the subject header.

Hmm. If I put From:lewis in Mail I see all the message from anyone named
Lewis, including all of mine and all from Peter Lewis. Scanning through
2768 messages found I don't see any where Lewis is not in the From
header.

I though I found some from "Derrick" but it turned out his email address
was @lewis{something}.com

I would think searching for "person" in the from field is going to hit a
*ton* of unintended mail.

When I put "from:Steiner" in the search field, all I get is mail that is 
from me.  I do not get mail from William Steiner or Barbara Steiner, for 
instance.

It showed exactly two messages, one from Robin Person and the one with 
"Personal" in the subject line.  The search was "From:Person".

What are you settings in Preferences => Accounts => Advanced for Keep
Copies?

If I search for From:steiner I see a lot of emails from you (259)<1>, and emails
from "Frank Steiner" and "Karl Lansteiner", as well as several spams from "Angel
Steiner" and "Edward Steiner".

What was the From header on the one with Personal in the subject?

There is no such setting; these are POP3 accounts.

Since your name doesn't include "Steiner" in it, that's not a valid test 
for what I'm experiencing.

Ah, well, you're on your own then, I haven't used POP in years and years.

I already detailed searching for "lewis" and finding not only all my
message but those from lots of other people named lewis, including Peter
Lewis.
