SEE THE DIFFERENCE: A NEW IMAGE COMPARISON TOOL THAT WILL SURPRISE YOU

Digital cameras once changed the way we perceive photography and organize our photo
albums. The affordability of flash media resulted in numerous memory cards being
brought from any trip and, consequently, the necessity to sort hundreds or thousands
of images manually. Nonetheless, keeping all the images may not be a great idea due
to their number and size. A couple of nice shots from a series of several dozen
similar ones may well suffice for keeping you precious memories. But how do you pick
out several shots of your safari rides made on different days from different angles
from a huge photo archive? If you don't want to think about meticulous file-by-file
categorization of your photo album, you may want to use a tool that will do this job
for you - the brand-new Image Comparer 3.1!

October 12, 2007: Bolide Software Team is glad to announce the release of Image
Comparer 3.1, an image comparison application intended for a wide scope of users -
from amateur camera owners to professional photographers, graphic designers and
webmasters working with large image archives containing thousands of items.

The third version of Image Comparer has been written completely from scratch to
offer users a unique mix of features and performance improvements that were not
available in the previous version. Initially intended for detection of duplicate
images, Image Comparer is by no means limited to this function only. Based on a
unique proprietary image comparison algorithm, the program searches for similar
images and compares their content using a similarity threshold specified in the
program settings. This enables users to search for both exact duplicates and
slightly modified images. This may come extremely handy for photographers making
several images in the burst mode in numerous sessions. Using Image Comparer, they
can detect these groups of shots and select the ones that best relate to the
reference shot. Webmasters of large traffic-intensive sites will also find these
features useful, as the program will help them detect duplicate images, free the
necessary disk space and organize the site folders for easier and more efficient
maintenance. Unlike other applications of the similar type, Image Comparer makes no
distinction between files of different formats, cross comparing files of the
following formats: RAW, JPEG, J2K, BMP, GIF, PNG, TIFF, TGA and other.

The program also features flexible grouping tools that allow users to easily select
groups of detected similar images and work with them independently. For this
purpose, Image Comparer supports galleries - sets of images which can be compared
against one another. Also, users can compare images within galleries to improve
final comparison accuracy. The result of each comparison is the similarity ratio for
each pair of compared items and a Top 10 list of similar images for each item.

The comparison algorithm that underlies the functionality of Image Comparer is
incredibly fast. It takes the program mere minutes to scan large image archives and
identify duplicate images and show the user a report on the disk space occupied by
them. Duplicates can then be deleted with a single mouse click. Alternatively, the
user can specify exactly which images should be deleted, moved or copied to another
location. The improved comparison algorithm also supports sorting and grouping by
quality, so as to enable users to pick out the images with the best quality and
copy/move them to a separate folder.

In a nutshell, Image Compare is a handy image comparison program that will become a
welcome addition to the toolkit of anyone dealing with images and digital
photography. With Image Comparer 3.1, you will see the real difference!
