We did some performance tests choosing only the applications that can find similar images besides finding duplicates. We tested the applications on AMD X2 5000+, 2GB RAM which is an average machine and scanned 5000 files as some of the applications could not handle large volumes.

The results that we achieved were varied.

Which Duplicate Photo Finder To Choose?

A nice surprise was the application at the top of the list which is our choice in this review. Besides the performance Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder gave accurate results and did not have issues with large volumes of images. It also has a corporate version that is used in online stock photography web sites – we are not surprised by that fact as it managed to scan 50 000 images in several minutes. The PRO version also provides support for 300+ RAW camera image formats.

Find And Delete Duplicate Pictures and Photographs

In our digital era shooting and editing digital photos is part of our daily life. Unfortunately we rarely keep a well organized database. We copy images to temporary locations in different formats that we needed at certain points of our work and forget to delete them. Searching for a photograph by its content was an impossible task for a computer so soon we are going out of storage. In such situations what comes extremely handy is a product developed by MindGems Inc.

I am going to introduce you here – Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder. Though a bit long, the name of the product describes it perfectly well. The product will find similar images regardless of the file name, format, image size and bit depth. Image processing is a heavy task and the performance achieved by this application is incredible. It manages to scan thousands of images in few minutes. I got also some information from the company about a new feature that will be available in the upcoming version. A photo search option. It will let you search for images by a sample. You will no longer have to search for your wedding photos. Do you remember that photo you mailed to John? Just load it in Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder and it will find the rest of the images for you. A very nice feature that will let you find the rest of the images from the set by loading a single sample.

Many professionals and also advanced photographers take images in RAW format. The quality of the RAW images is much better compared to JPEG, but the drawback is the size and the fact that very small amount of products supports it. The good news here is that Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder will provide also a RAW support soon for all the popular camera brands available on the market.

I must admit also the vast variety of image formats that it supports. Here is a complete list:

• JPEG Bitmap (*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.jpe)
• Compuserve Bitmap (*.gif)
• Portable Network Graphics (*.png)
• TIFF Bitmap (*.tif;*.tiff;*.fax;*.g3n;*.g3f)
• JPEG2000 Files (*.jp2)
• JPEG2000 Code Stream (*.j2k;*.jpc;*.j2c)
• Targa (*.tga;*.targa;*.vda;*.icb;*.vst;*.pix)
• Paintbrush (*.pcx)
• Windows Bitmap (*.bmp;*.dib;*.rle)
• Windows Metafile (*.wmf)
• Enhanced Windows Metafile (*.emf)
• Windows Icon (*.ico)
• Windows Cursor (*.cur)
• Wireless Bitmap (*.wbmp)
• Portable Pixmap (*.pxm;*.ppm)
• Adobe Photoshop (*.psd)

Find Duplicate MP3

In our technological era most people store their audio collections on a digital media. Unfortunately duplicating data on a digital media is a very quick process and often we make copy of our audio files, download them several times in different formats and quality and then forget to remove them. Finding duplicate mp3 files or other audio formats in a vast collection is a tedious task as you have to first locate the duplicate files and then compare the quality and remove the one that is not needed. Having in mind that multimedia files are often quite large even terabyte sized storage can go out of space very quickly.

Audio Dedupe by MindGems Inc. is a tool that is very handy in such situations. Unlike the standard duplicate file finders on the market, the tool is designed specifically to  find duplicate mp3 files and other audio file formats. What is even more interesting is that it does not need audio tags like ID3 in order to accomplish that. Audio Dedupe performs a real audio scan using complex algorithms in order to find audio files that sound alike. Due to that fact Audio Dedup can recognize a song even if it is stored in several different file formats – MP3, MP2, MP1, MPA, WAV, OGG and AIFF.

Once the scan process is complete Audio Dedupe will list all the duplicate audio files sorted by groups of two or more files. It provides a handy auto-mark feature that can mark files choosing files with lower quality, older date or smaller size for deletion. You can also listen to the files using the internal audio player and compare them. The embedded audio player has a continuous playback feature that lets you switch between the duplicates while they are playing. Once you are done with the review of the results you can choose weather to move the files to a certain folder (backup), delete them to the recycle bin or completely remove them from your hard drive. If your files are organized in folder Audio Dedupe will also maintain the folder structure of the moved files in the target location.

It is easy to keep your audio collection clean as Audio Dedupe will also remember the already scanned songs and every consequential scan will be even faster. Cleaning up duplicate audio files can save you gigabytes of valuable disk space and using a similar tool is a must.
