Image Comparer - Highly recommended
"I'm a lensman for several years already. I work for a well-known magazine and love my work a lot!!! I enjoy taking photos of nature, animals, and what not... Yeah, it's true photos are often very similar to each other and need a lot of hard daily work... Some time ago I even thought of an assistant, but you know what a headache it is to find a qualified one! But now I have it - it's Image Comparer!!! Many thanks for the developers!!! Highly recommend it to all people professionally dealing with lots of images!"
