Description

Images in Tensorboard are incredibly useful for us when training generative models as they allow an intuitive feel for what different scalar metrics mean. Currently the number of selectable steps are limited to 10 making it difficult to see transients and instabilities (common in e.g. GANs).

It would be great if we could get a method for selecting the step for an image with higher precision. E.g. a manual input for the step would be very helpful, especially if coupled with the ability to scroll around in its immediate area.

Ideally the suggested global step slider in #469 should support this higher precision step selection as well.

Research direction

Review the existing image step-selection UI and the global step slider proposal referenced in #469. Determine how manual step entry and nearby-step scrolling should work for images, then verify that users can select precise steps and inspect local transitions without losing the existing image workflow.
