Image Comparer 3.5 Build 708 is a File Compare product from bolidesoft.com, get 5 Stars SoftSea Rating, Image Comparer allows you to scan selected folders or drives and find duplicate images, or images that are very similar. The software can find all similar images even if they are in various formats (e.g JPG and TIFF versions of an image). It presents you with a list of the files found, as well as a side-by-side comparison, and you can decide to copy, move, or delete one of the copies. In addition, the software can also automatically mark the image that appears to have a higher quality, making it easier for you to decide which one to get rid of (if any). Image Comparer supports JPEG, J2K, BMP, GIF, PCX, PNG, TIFF, TGA, ICO and CUR formats.

Manually locating similar images may be fine if you have just a dozen images. But what if you have a hundred? If you do it by hand, it'll take you quite a while. If you are like most digital shooters, you probably have several hundred or even a few thousand digital pictures stored in various folders. Locating and removing duplicates can easily become a time-consuming nightmare, and may eventually even take away the fun of taking pictures.

Difficult lighting and exposure problems, camera shake and digital noise can pollute your images. When you encounter difficult shooting conditions, you likely take a number of pictures, with somewhat different settings. Selecting the best shot out of a few duplicates is relatively easy, but what if you have hundreds of duplicate shots? Your viewers won't be overly impressed to see a dark shot, a blurry shot, and then just the perfect one followed by an overexposed view.

Image Comparer analyzes your digital images and automatically selects the best shot out of the many duplicates on your system, allowing you to move or delete duplicate images in a couple of mouse clicks. Image Comparer ? uses a content based image search also known as a content based image retrieval (CBIR). This allows the software to search images by visual similarity. You can search for rotated and flipped images as well.

Unlike similar products, Image Comparer? does not just look for exact duplicates. Instead, it analyzes and recognizes an image's content (this technology is known as content based image search), and groups pictures that look alike. You can specify the level of visual similarity that is sufficient to consider pictures to be duplicates. View them in pairs or see the top ten similar images and keep the best one!

Image Comparer is extremely useful to professional photographers, designers, and webmasters, who have "image-heavy" sites to maintain. The software is incredibly fast; after a minute or two one can see how many duplicate images are stored and how much disk space will be saved by removing the duplicates. The "dupes" can then be removed all at once with one click. Alternatively, a user can specify which images need to be deleted, moved or copied.

The list of supported image file formats includes RAW, JPEG, J2K, BMP, GIF, PNG, TIFF, TGA and others.
