viewing two photos simultaneously

[john westmore_______]

In deleting out some photos amongst my collection, I often want to compare
two or three shots that are more or less identical; with each other.

When I open one photo in the 'windows picture and fax viewer' and then open
another one in another window, the first one disappears.

So I can only have one window open at any one time. Since I want to compare
two or more photos simultaneously, how can I adjust the settings to allow
this please? thanks.

If you download the free FastStone Image Viewer 3.5, there is a tool
in there (represented by four squares in the toolbar) that allows you
to put two or more images on the screen for comparison.

It's a far better viewer in many other ways that the Windows viewer.

Try Picasa or IrfanView instead.

Open an image in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.

Click the print button.

With the Print Wizard still on the screen, open another image.

Close the Wizard.

You should now have two instances of Windows Picture And Fax Viewer open.

Better still, get Irfanview and use the 'Create Panorama Image' option
which will allow you to display multiple images in the same window either
side-by-side or one atop the other.

Thanks Kool breeze ..the suggestion to use the Windows print function (
which, of course, I already have loaded up)..was a fine one. I was trying
to do just that last night! regards, richg99

Been years since I used a program called "Deduper".
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/File-Management/Image-DeDuper.shtml

This displays two identical images side by side and you can choose
which to get rid of.

Or in your case which little girl to beat your meat to.

Are you related to that guy who lost 103 pounds Tony Orlando?

In cases like this I use the Film Strip View of Windows Explorer. You can
alternately click the thumbnails below it and compare.

Paris and Nicky Hilton of course.

For a girl, you're doing a good job of impersonating a guy.
Of course, you could be a "drag queen".

Irfanview, view the directory and hit "T" it will show all the photos
as thumbnails. (pictures next to each other).

Beats the Heck out of printing each picture you want to view.

Irfanview http://www.irfanview.com/ is the standard for free video
graphics viewer, download the plugins and it will view almost any
graphics/video type.

Retriever is an old photo manipulation program. It has a feature which
will find pictures which are alike, with an adjustment for how much
similarity will trigger selection. Then it will show them side by side
so you can move or delete at will.

You are using MS software OTHER than the ****ed-up-enough-as-it-

There is a variety of ways of seeing "more than one picture at a
time", such as using one of the 3 thousand photo editing
programs available and opening more than one image.

However, since you want to eliminate similar but not necessarily
identical pictures, and presumably don't want to go crazy doing
it, allow me to recommend Unique Filer. The best - i tried
several. You can adjust the "similarity" percentage depending on
the contents of the photo collection you are "pruning".

The site /seems/ to be long dead, but I can post the license
file in some binary group if you don't want the nag screens
(although they appear once only every ten deletes). It should
work if you just put it in the same directory.

I'm too lazy to test it, but I don't think you have to actually print the
picture. Almost any Windows application, probably including WPFV, will wait
for you to select a printer or confirm the default.

Yes, but first you have to drag the images you want to compare so that
they are next to each other. Select the first one, and holding down
the shift key select the other or the rest. Then press the "P".
