It does not need to be the stack but maybe some symbol on the thumbnail and once one right clicks on the thumbnail there would be an item on the context menu "Other versions..." or something like that. That way one can still easily edit the original. Otherwise the original and other versions are "lost".

I does not think that it makes sense to invent another way to
associate pictures with one another. So I guess it makes only sense to
only preplace the original or stack them on top of each other.
