New Image Comparer release!
Author: Igor Derunov
Got “twin” images? Image Comparer will find them!

While there are quite a few software applications that compare images in order to find duplicates, there is only one solution that has own unique comparison algorithm. While most applications can only locate duplicate images of the same format, Image Comparer will identify the same images even if one is a JPEG and another is a Bitmap image.

Furthermore, Image Comparer can identify duplicate images even if they have different sizes and resolution settings. Program’s unique algorithm can even identify similar images. The program shows the degree of similarity; 100% means the two images are identical, 95% means that one of the images was probably altered and so on.

The program is of great interest to professional photographers, designers, and web masters who have “image-heavy” sites to maintain. Image Comparer is incredibly fast; after a minute or two one can see how many duplicate messages 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 button click. Alternatively, a user can specify which images need to be deleted, moved or copied.

In addition, the program can be also used to search for images. The list of supported image file formats includes JPEG, J2K, BMP, GIF, PCX, PNG, TIFF, TGA, ICO, CUR.

Image Comparer 2.2 is distributed electronically over the Internet; free trial version is available at http://www.bolidesoft.com/ for evaluation for 30 days. The trial version identifies duplicates but does not allow moving, deleting or copying them.
