CNET Editors' review
If you need to rapidly locate space-hogging duplicate photos, turn to Image Comparer. The well-organized interface doesnt break any new ground in terms of design, but offers large, clearly labeled icons for performing most functions. You simply specify what folders or drives you want to scan, and the program will bring up a list of any identical images it finds. The application bases its comparisons on similarity percentages, so the higher you set the level, the more accurate your results are. However, even when we set the sensitivity level to 70 percent, Image Comparer proved quite adept at hunting down duplicate pictures and returned very few bunk results. Youll also find a basic tool for applying smoothness to images, although the trial version wont let you delete any matching images it discovers. However, we dont find that restriction to be a deal-breaker, so we can recommend this program to both avid photographers and graphic designers.Publisher's Description

"already done"

Pros

-
"Possibly the best image comparison tool"
Version: Image Comparer 2.2
Pros
Found many duplicate and similar images! Tried another products like Dup Detector and Image Dupeless, but Image Comparer do the best
Cons
Works slow on 17000 images, but still get an excellent results
-
"Very, very slow and utterly useless"
Version: Image Comparer 2.2
Pros
Luckily it didn't cost anything
Cons
The database took forever to build and when it did I couldn't do ANYTHING with the duplicate images it found. Pressing the Copy, Move or Delete buttons told me that I had to get the full version.
So what was I evaluating? How slow it was? The fact that I couldn't do ANYTHING with the duplicates? The fact that I couldn't select more than one image at a time and even that took a second or so to register.
Poor, poor software.

"So bad I uninstalled it after it repeatedly choked"
Version: Image Comparer 2.2
Pros
Decent interface.
Cons
Terribly slow performance when building a database, and then its percentage/margin of error seems inaccurate. 97% finds everything; 99% finds nothing. Oy.
