You might be thinking that purchasing duplicate image finder software is anything but practical. After all, you could just look through the digital photos on your computer and remove any duplicates yourself. You don't need a program for that unless you have thousands upon thousands of digital photos and duplicate shots clogging your hard drive, like a professional photographer might.

Yet, how many digital photos do you think you have on your hard drive? Take a good guess, and then realize you've probably underestimated. Do a search just for images on your system and you'll probably be surprised to find you have hundreds of photos, at least. So chances are good that duplicate image finder software could find dozens of duplicates in your collection. Sure, you could attempt to do it yourself, but is it really likely that you'll remember that a photo you saw 500 photos ago looks exactly like the one you've just clicked on? And just how easy is it to find it again to compare?

Duplicate image finder software, on the other hand, can eliminate exact duplicates, and can help you find copies of photos that you no longer want, like the original photos that you altered in some way by cropping or enhancing. You might have several versions of each photo, and duplicate image finder software can help you get rid of all but the final enhanced image.

Practically speaking, if you have hundreds of digital photos on your system-or even several dozen, conservatively-how eager are you to jump in there and sort out the duplicates and the originals that you no longer want because you've enhanced them? It could be a major, time-consuming project. And even if you're gung-ho about it, just the enormity of the undertaking is enough to make many people procrastinate ever starting.

So your photos sit on your hard drive, not enjoyed as they should be in albums or through digital photo sharing, not organized as you might like them so that you can use them in great photo projects, because the task of sorting them properly is too overwhelming. With duplicate image finder software, you just let the software do the work. It flags possible duplicates which you choose between, and searches through the directories you pick. The project of sorting photos suddenly becomes simple, and you're better able to enjoy your digital photo collection.
