A good program for shorting through redundant photo's?

[logictron]

I need backup and condense all my data from various storage mediums(CD-R, Flashes, HD's, etc) as much of the data stored is the same(copied over and over through the years), and can be condensed. Of course the smart move on my part would have been to organize as I went along, but that's a little too late now.

I found some decent programs for files/texts, but it's with the pictures(photographs that are the same but with different shots(ISO, exposures, etc)), I'm having trouble dealing with.

Anyone know of a good program that can search similar photographs and help short them?

Thanks

I use this from cnet "Awesome Duplicate Photo Finder" http/download.cnet.com/Awesome-Duplicate-Photo-Finder/3000-2193_4-75206819.html?tag=dropDownForm;productListing;pop
But you need to do the "advanced installation" when you install the program. Otherwise you will install some unwanted programs like the toolbar.

or you can try this VisiPics 1.3 (free) http/www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Graphic/Graphic-Others/VisiPics.shtml

adobe bridge is good. also, you can try to increase the size of thumbnails. make one folder where you want to save the files. label them by year and move files based on date of creation. that usually what i do. then i go through them.
