Bolide Software Team is glad to announce the release of Image Comparer 3.0, an image comparison application intended for a wide scope of users – from amateur camera owners to professional photographers, graphic designers and webmasters working with large image archives containing thousands of items.

The third version of Image Comparer has been written completely from scratch to offer users a unique mix of features and performance improvements that were not available in the previous version. Initially intended for detection of duplicate images, Image Comparer is by no means limited to this function only. Based on a unique proprietary image comparison algorithm, the program searches for similar images and compares their content using a similarity threshold specified in the program settings. This enables users to search for both exact duplicates and slightly modified images. This may come extremely handy for photographers making several images in the burst mode in numerous sessions.
