You can easily reduce the amount of duplication down by hundreds and if you are a large collector of images and video by thousands. Not only can you search for image duplication you can now search for video and non standard image file types.

Compatible with windows 32 and 64 bit computers you can run it on either system.

^{New Concept - Check images Prior to Copying them to the Computer}

Two device near match


• CONNECT AND NEAR MATCH - the smaller of the two images is a photo of a castle already on my hard drive. The larger image is a photo of the same castle. Because I already of a similar photo of the castle I can select to delete the picture on the phone prior to copying unwanted images to the hard drive. Of-course I can select to delete an old picture from off the hard drive if I have just taken a better photo. In the trial version picture in picture swap is unavailable when you click on the picture; in large picture mode. In the full version you can swap the small and large pictures around to see more detail.
• CONNECT DEVICE LIKE PHONE OR CAMERA - this method is more complex than the normal near match method. It attempts to LIST PICTURES ON YOUR HARD DRIVE that are near to the PICTURES YOU HAVE JUST TAKEN and wish to put on your computer. This is a very advanced new feature it attemps to establish if the pictures previously taken are similar to pictures just taken prior to putting them on your hard drive. If they are, the user, can delete these pictures on the device for instance a mobile phone prior to copying the files to the computers hard drive or backup drive. Please note the recycle bin may not restore deleted files from some eternal devices.
• NEW LOAD AND SAVE - makes a SNAP SHOT OF THE HARD DRIVE OR PART OF THE HARD DRIVE for instance all picture folders. It collects the location of each picture searched on the hard drive or in a certain location. Using MULTI DRIVE this allows you to hold all your standard image files so they can be compared in the future against new images you wish to put on your hard drive say photos taken with a CAMERA or PHONE. If the images are say of the same picture you can then remove that image prior to copying the photos to your hard drive. The GPRSG Duplication Finder will list a number of photos that it thinks maybe similar in some way. You can widen or narrow this list. THIS MEANS YOU CAN TAKE HUNDREDS OF PICTURES AND COMPARE THEM WITH PHOTOS ALREADY TAKEN ON YOUR HARD DRIVE OR BACKUP DRIVE PREVIOUSLY.

The Main Software is the General Picture Recognition Software this Duplication Image Finder is free when you download the general picture recognition software. The General Picture Recognition Software is much more advanced than the Duplication Image Finder Software. The duplication software is great for finding exact copies but is not True Picture Recognition Software like the General Picture Recognition Software.

The Duplication Image Finder software is very easy to use for a standard image search just do the following.
(1) Click Search - Click Start - Select Drive or Folder - Click OK - it is that easy.

Features of the GPRSG Image Duplication Finder Software

Version 3 comes with a new feature that is unique to this GPRSG Image Duplication Finder Software. It comes with Auto File Protect Monitor. Allow Monitor Protect to analyses the amount of times that any duplicate image is used and if it is used several times it will not suggest that the duplicate file is deleted. Suggest with Monitor Protect ON allows the software to select files for deletion based on the results from monitoring usage. The files monitored are selected from previous images found that have duplicates. This new function helps when deciding what images or files you wish to delete. You can also use other suggest methods but this new suggest method works on previous usage analysis. The Duplication Finder will continue to monitor duplicate images or files that are used often via the task bar and will try and protect these images from being selected. This function of-course can be turned On or Off.

A common problem with image duplication software is deciding what files to delete. This software attempts to alleviate the problem in two main ways. By protecting certain folder areas and secondly protecting images that are often used. Also suggest delete will always leave one copy of that image on the computer. In theory even if you would not wish to do it is practice it should be possible and relatively safe to select thousands of duplicate images and just let the software delete them. However I would always suggest viewing the images to check they are the ones you wish not to have two copies of. Please note that when deleting a near match (not duplicates) you may actually be deleting the only available image. Therefore when using near match it is important to view prior to deletion. Also when using near match it will only suggest files that maybe deleted but you will still have to select files you wish to delete.

• Dedicated image duplication software
• EASY INTERFACE - Easy to use image duplication finder free when you download the GENERAL PICTURE RECOGNITION SOFTWARE .
• PICTURE IN PICTURE - Easy picture in picture allows you to see both images at the same time that are duplicates. This function is very useful when comparing NEAR MATCH IMAGES.
• IMPORTANT LOCATION PROTECT - This software has built in system protect. This means that certain system folders are protected when system protect is on. By default system protect is always on with the option of the user to turn it off (apart from the trial version where the default is off). This gives an added layer of protection and will help protect against areas that duplicate files should not be deleted from unless your are an expert. Switch it off and it will show all protected areas.
• RECYCLE PROTECTION - Deletes to Recycle Bin for added delete protection.
• MONITOR PROTECT - Attemps to protect images that are used often. This type of protection increases the longer the software is monitoring images used.
• DUPLICATE SUGGEST ORIGINAL - Instead of you deciding which duplicate image to delete you can use the SUGGEST WHICH DUPLICATE IMAGE to delete, this gives you a very quick one click deletion option. It works by keeping the first image copied onto your hard drive and then deleting all other duplications of that image. If the first image has however been deleted it will keep the next duplicated image. In other words it will always keep one copy of that image.
• NEAR DUPLICATION MATCH - sometimes you will have two copies that are very close to each other but are not the same in this mode it will try and find very close matches. However in this mode you have to select which near duplications to delete because it sometimes will find pictures that are not near duplicates of each other. This function will allow you to delete near matches that are not exact duplications. In this mode it will highlight in intermediate mode images that are near matches.
• ANY FILE TYPE - now you can find duplications of any file type not just the standard types of images. The standard image types for example JPEG, GIF, TIFF, BMP, PNG etc. Now in this version even if its a non standard type for instance say CANON Raw CR2 the duplication software can still find a duplication and allows you to view the location of any duplicate. I.
• USE VENDORS SOFTWARE - now you can use the vendors own software to view the duplicated image if its a non standard unavailable format. This should always be done prior to deletion, however you are still protected by all deletions going to the recycle bin (apart from connecting to some external devices like phones or camera).
• FIND ANY FILE TYPE - this function allows you to search out individual file types to remove. For instance if you wish to remove all CR2 Canon duplications it is now easy to go directly to this file type in a large collection of different file types. You can actually now list a single non normal file type this function gives a large amount of flexibility. After listing a single file type you can then use View All to re-list all file types.
• CUSTOMISE AND ADD NEW FILE TYPES - this was initially intended so you could add more image file types when they became available. It now means that you can see if you have duplications of ANY FILE TYPE for example ZIP files etc. Warning when deleting non standard image or video files or any other file be very careful to validate by viewing them prior to deletion that they are files you wish to delete.
• GO TO FOLDER - one click to take you to the LOCATION of any image found on your HARD DRIVE.
• MULTI DRIVE COMPARE - Now you can compare multiple drives for instance C: and D: or a Phone Drive, and it will allow you to compare them and see if duplicate images exist cross hard drives.
• SUGGEST DELETE FOR A CERTAIN DRIVE- Say you have images on the C:\ drive and the same images on the D:\ drive you can get the software to select for deletion only files stored on say the C:\ drive. This is a good idea if for instance you wish to keep all duplicate images of the Z:\ backup drive at the same time deleting duplicates of the Z:\ drive from the C:\ drive.
• GET STATISTICS - the duplication software will give you the total amount of files found. The amount of files selected for deletion and amount not selected for deletion.
• LARGE VIEWER - sometimes it is nice to have a full screen view of an image to see detail. One click on the picture turns full view ON a second click in full view returns you to normal view.
• DELETE AGAIN AND AGAIN - you can delete several files from a list and then re-list the remaining files and delete again. This means you DO NOT HAVE TO DO a NEW SEARCH each time you delete from the list. This just makes it more easy to use.
• F5 SCREEN RESIZE function - this will allow the software to run on any size screen from very small to very large screen sizes.
• STANDBY MODE - after initial search - if you are searching a very large backup drive you can put the computer into standby mode and return in your own time. Most duplication searches take between 10 to 30 minutes. You would have a very large drive with a huge amount of photos to take any longer but all the same there is a standby mode if required.

The duplication software can now handle just about any file type and you can even add your own file type if a new file type becomes available. There are non standard file types like the Canon CR2 raw file type that you can now search for duplications using this powerful duplication software so whatever file format you use from images taken in space to video formats this software will try and find all duplications of that image or video or any other file you have.

This software is also very easy to use with a couple of clicks you can search for just about any file type.
