VisiPics does more than just look for identical files, it goes beyond checksums to look for similar pictures and does it all with a simple user interface.

First, you select the root folder or folders to find and catalogue all of your pictures.

It then applies five image comparison filters in order to measure how close pairs of images on the hard drive are.

Visipic is a program that is considerably faster than any other commercial product and has an interface that lets you do other things while Visipics automatically finds your duplicated images. It will detect two different resolution files of the same picture as a duplicate, or the same picture saved in different formats, or duplicates where only minor cosmetic changes have taken place.

All detected duplicates are shown side by side with pertinent information such as file name, type and size being displayed. Its auto-select mode let you choose if you want to keep the higher resolution picture, space-saving filetype, smaller filesize or all of the above. If you are insecure over what you really want to delete you can manually select the images you don’t want to keep and delete them yourself.

The neat functions:
•    VisiPics is Free! If you like and want to support it, donations are welcome.
•    Faster than most commercial software
•    Uses dualcore processors

With XP, you can also try Control Panel ->System -> Advanced -> Performance Settings ->Adjust for best performance. Remember you can always set it back where it was if you need to.

Another thing to try is right click on your desktop and select Properties -> Appearance ->Effects and uncheck the top box that controls fade or scroll effect for your menus.

Sorry, I am not using Vista on this machine and don’t know if the settings are the same for that software.

I like that and think it has potential to become very popular. Lots of hints at what will be coming on the new site. The site launch seems to be a bit delayed, and Christian has said it’s related to getting the payment gateway correctly set up. Payments are now handled exclusively by Towah and can be processed by cell phone. There are always lurches and bumps on a start up and this is a large project; so the problems are most likely large as well. We are trying to be patient!
