[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have taken it upon myself to edit a collection of several thousand industrial archeological photos. These have been digitally scanned into a database. Each has a unique ID number but many of the photos are duplicates and near duplicates. Does anyone know of a software package that will let me identify photos that are similar. Simply making a visual inspection will take far too long. Here are some of the problems. A simple bit comparison will not do. The photos differ in file size, some by a ratio as large as 8 to 1. The pictures are in JPG format. Most are in color but a substantial portion is in B&W. I use Mac equipment and have G3 and G4 Powerbooks and a new MacIntel. I can run any operating system from OS 7.6.1 through OS 10.4. Any suggestions will be gratefully received. Larry Z
