Thanks Walter, I appreciate the quick reply... To your points, would highly like to avoid messing with paperclip or vestal_versions.
What about creating a customer model to store photo versions like PHOTO_VERSIONS And then on any update, manually copy the previous photo record over to PHOTO_VERSIONS? Only thing I'm not sure about is paperclip would still delete the photo from S3, so I'd have to recreate the photo? idk, it's getting messy. Thoughts anyone?
