One of the aim in using Image Compressor is to reduce storage space.
Reducing storage space can also be done by removing duplicate images.
Image Compressor 2008 Pro Edition has this "Find Similar Image" function
to search for exact same image, or images that looks alike.
So for example, you can search for your son photo, simply by selecting his photo,
and let Image Compressor finds for other photos that contains the picture of your son on them.
After Image Compressor search for similar images, you can put them in the Image Tray for moving, copying
or deleting them.
How To Look For Similar Images

-
Click on File -> Find Similar Images
-
A window will be open.
Click on "Select Image To Search" tab, and click "Open Image" button.
Select the image that contains the object you'd like to search.
For example, if you want to search for your son's photo.
Hence you should choose one photo that has your son on it.
Click on "Next Step"
-
Here you will be presented with a search location, and an option to recursively
search in the sub folders as well.
Click "Browse" and choose the folder you want to search.
The "what to search" box contains filtering elements.

-
Image Compressor will search for other images that 100% similar to the image you want to search.
