D'Peg - by somewareonthe.net - I think. Have used D'Peg for many years, and it has improved continually. It now also handles movies & sound files. IMHO it has about a 98% acurracy (did I spell that right?) rate. It's a bit tricky to get the settings for what you want it to do (on first try), but author is VERY helpful (as is the help built in). Price is pretty reasonable, and sometimes you'll get another program as a "gift" from the author (not always).

Hope this helps a bit.

Thanks for the many many suggestions everyone!
I'll give them each a try, and see where I get!

In a few days Bits du Jour will be having an offer on some software called "Image Comparer" which claims to be able to find similar photos - not just exact file copies.  I have no idea how well it works, I only noticed the advertisement:

So for anyone who is looking to cull out a photo library, this might be an interesting bit of software to test.

I've tried many and the best one I've come across is DupDetector, and it's free.

It was/is from a company called Prismatic Software

http://www.prismaticsoftware.com

Although it looks like they sadly no longer exist.

It's worth Googling to see if you can find it elsewhere or I'll gladly email it to you.

It's not very pretty to look at but works really well.

Dup Detector freeware version 3.201 still available via this link:

Here's a screenshot and a brief description:



"Dup Detector finds duplicate and near duplicate images by opening and reading image pixel data. Large collections and large image file sizes can slow Dup Detector but it works well running in the background. Large image collections often are filled with duplicate images under different names. Use Dup Detector to clean them. DupDetector reads 9 image file types from a folder or its subfolders or from an image list."
