  The Large Program IMAGES is near 2/3 of its completion. It provides us with
kinematics (GIRAFFE deployable IFUs), gas chemistry (FORS2), detailed
morphologies (HST/ACS) and IR photometry (Spitzer) for a set of 70 galaxies
representative of intermediate mass galaxies (MJ<=-20.3 or 1.5e10 Mo) at
z=0.4-0.75. We discover that, 6 Gyr ago, a significant fraction of galaxies
(>40%) had anomalous kinematics, i.e. kinematics significantly discrepant from
those of rotational or dispersion supported galaxies. The anomalous kinematics
cause the observed large dispersion of the Tully-Fisher relation at large
distances. IMAGES will soon allow us to study distant galaxies at a level of
detail almost comparable to that of nearby galaxies.
