"Finally, a duplicate finder that has the feature I want"
Version: Awesome Duplicate Photo Finder 1.0.1
Pros
This software is free. This duplicate image finder does not only identify identical photos it could also recognizes photos that are similar but with different sizes, colors and effects. (Read the summery)
Cons
I gave it 3.5 stars because out of 22 photos that I tested, it only found 10. (Read the summery)
Summary
I downloaded about 11 of the most popular duplicate finder software to see which one could not only find duplicates but to see which one could actually detect the same photos that are similar but with different (sizes, colors and effects). This Duplicate detector software is very impressive because it could actually show you a percentage of how close the photos are comparing to one another; from 100% down to 1% similarity. I had 22 original photos in one folder and its copy with different (sizes, colors and effects) on the other folder. Out of 22 photos it managed to find 10, which is impressive because other duplicate finder softwares failed miserably. The software named "Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder" did better than this one because it found 16/22.
This Duplicate Photo Finder is very good because it found all the duplicates but for my similar photo test it only found 10/22.

"The best Duplicate image Finder on this website"
Version: Awesome Duplicate Photo Finder 1.0.1
Pros
Fast, easy to use, convenient and 100% free.
Cons
Sometimes it freezes to the point where I actually have to "end task" the program by hiting ctrl + alt + delete. If I don't, it doesn't let me do anything else. Maybe this is why this software is free.
Summary
After comparing this software with other Duplicate image finders on download.cnet.com, I am 100% sure this is the second best Duplicate image finder software I found. Why pay for a Duplicate image finders software when you could get this software for free?
I have tested this software with seven different other Duplicate image finder softwares and this one is one of the best. I'm surprised this software is not on the top of the list! This product is free and it works better than some "Duplicate image Finder" softwars that you have to Purchase. -
"Slow, with Incorrect or mostly useless results"
Version: Awesome Duplicate Photo Finder 1.0.1
Pros
- Interface seems relatively standard - select folder to scan for photos.
- can sort results by field values.
- free (but you get what you pay for)Cons
- slow: over 2.5 hours to churn through 3000 photos on average spec'd machine
- many useless search results - provides a percentage similarity, but in very many cases these were as low as 30%. I only want 100% match (i.e. exact duplicates), but I concede some users may have a need for lower match thresholds.
- many (20 - 30%) INCORRECT search results: "duplicates" identified the same file (yes, and in the same folder) for source and target files!!! Implies coding logic error - which makes me not trust any of the results. Imagine deleting that entry - you'd lose your original!!Summary
Sluggish for large sets - but most of all , I can't trust the logic behind the code since it returned many "false positives" - same file in same folder listed twice, but identified as a duplicate of itself. Deleted the app as I can't trust the integrity of the results. 1 1/2 stars as it may help some people with limited functional duplicate checks.

"Failed Miserably"
Version: Awesome Duplicate Photo Finder 1.0.1
Pros
It was free, hence the phrase, "Get what you pay for"
Cons
It missed MANY photos, and constantly confused multiple files with others. There is no way to adjust the discernment, and deleting files it finds is painfully and slowly repetitive.
Summary
I sell stock photography on istock.com, and thought I'd give this product a try. I tried it twice and was sorry I wasted the time.

"Works very fast"
Version: Awesome Duplicate Photo Finder 1.0.1
Pros
very fast sorter, highly accurate
Cons
my computer (Vista) would not let e delete some found duplicate while in program. Deleting required individual permission outside the program.
-
"Works well, but not able to batch delete the dupe's!"
Version: Awesome Duplicate Photo Finder 1.0.1
Pros
Simple interface with all types of drives, IE;Thumb type drives
Cons
Unable to batch delete. Would pay for I that!
-
"Limited use only"
Version: Awesome Duplicate Photo Finder 1.0.1
Pros
Finds duplicate images and displays the site by side. Images do not need to be same size. works to delete duplicates
Cons
Interface is slow, pictures are processed one at a time, duplicate sets appear multiple times (AB, BA, AC, BC, CB, CA)
Summary
This product works as it should in every aspect but could use refinement to be a valued product. For the casual user with folders containing less >100 images this is a great tool. If you have folders with several hundred images you may want to try using explorer to find obvious duplicates first. Definitely NOT recommended for an entire file system search.

"Slow delete process"
Version: Awesome Duplicate Photo Finder 1.0.1
Pros
Scans over 14,000 images in about 30 minutes. Pretty accurate too.
Cons
Slow to delete. Only able to view two images together. I have nearly 3000 duplicate images. Very tedious process.
Summary
If you only have a small amount of data it would be great, but if you are dealing with volumes like me, keep looking around. I would be willing to pay to do this faster. My time is worth it.

"Seems to work great, but tedious if you have many dups"
Version: Awesome Duplicate Photo Finder 1.0.1
Pros
Good at ferreting out duplicates.
Cons
No "batch" mode provided. If a scan finds dozens and dozens of duplicates, you then have to delete each one individually.
Summary
See One-line summary.
