BioTecKIf your working with a lot of pictures then you probably have a huge collection of pictures. But do you know if you have some duplicate images? You probably don’t know, but you might have it! Duplicate images often find their way into collections, even commercial stock collections. Now you can clean them of duplicates and near duplicates. Search a folder (including subfolders) for duplicate and near duplicate images. Match all images or restrict match to same size or same aspect ratio. Dup Detector creates a data file by opening and reading image pixel data for each image in your collection. It then finds duplicates by % match and displays matching pairs from a log file. You may delete a duplicate at any time.
The main screen has four tabs: (1) Method, (2) Get data, (3) Find dups, and (4) View dups. First select the Method, whether you want to find dups in a single image collection, between two collections or just compare a single image to all images in a collection. Second Get data by opening an already built image data file or by building one now. Third Find dups by setting the percentage match required to be considered a duplicate and setting the (or changing the default) setup criteria and restrictions (if any), and lastly View dups to scroll through the found matching image pairs. You may delete images at this time. Deleting can be done manually, semi-automatically or in full automatic mode.
Note: Supports 9 image file formats (jpg, bmp, png, tif, pcx, tga, wmf, emf, psp). This freeware version requires all images to be in one folder (or subfolders) and MFC42.dll must exist on your system.

That sounds like it would be especially useful for my PC, to tell the truth. Having almost ten years worth of material hanging around on my hard drive… there’s no telling WHAT might be in there.
Thanks for sharing!!
Aywren’s last blog post..Ceredwen @ Tune-in Tuesday
I use picasa.
It has that function too
2 Aywren: I have the same situation!
Only I had them burned on dvd’s, and last month I through a lot of dvd’s away, it was just to much to look at! And if I don’t miss it, then I probably didn’t need it!
2 Nicole: Didn’t know that! Maybe it’s time for me to check Picca out!
