Details enabled me to compare thumbnails of the two images to reassuure myself that it was correctly matching similar images and that I wasn’t about to delete the entire master scans archive of a major project.
I soon found the Details, Dupes Only and Delta buttons at the top. Sizes were displayed, and the percentage similarity, and you could list ascending or descending by any column. I’d slightly tweaked the preferences so it wasn’t only looking for exact matches and, sure enough, small JPEG versions of the giant TIFFs (Photoshop PSDs are recognised too) were coming up as matches. Helpfully, DupeGuru PE seemed to consider my TIFFs to be the originals, which is what I had in mind. Once the scan had finished, I had to scratch my head a bit about what to do next the “originals” seemed to be listed in blue, and the duplicate images were in black. The results of my image scan, showing Details comparison window But it helpfully gives a progress indicator showing the number of files, and how many have been scanned so far. Don’t expect it to zip through hundreds of pictures in an instant even on this powerhouse mac it took a good few minutes. I set it to work straight away on a two folders full of TIFF scans (dragged into the window), some of which had been resized and resaved to JPGs. Installing on a big 2x3Ghz Quad Core Intel Xeon powermac was no trouble download the image, open it and drag the app to the applications folder. Payment works using the fairware approach, where the amount of hours spent creating the software are logged, and you’re reminded when you open the software of how many hours work has been done on your behalf, which should be enough to prompt any reasonable-minded user to fling a few crusts their way, via PayPal. And continuing well with free-to-download software available on Windows, Linux and OS X. Dupe Guru PE (picture Edition) reviewĪ good start by Hardcoded Software, with a punning reference (presumably) to the excellent sampling duo Loop Guru.
