Just want to thank the people who suggested software. I have checked some out. Using dupe detector reduces about 10% of the task. They all still have a quality control problem in not being able to zoom in to compare the quality of two similar images. While they do help in the detection and locating many dupes I still have to use the method described earlier to directly compare the images for quality. I can't just assume a small image size is no good. A larger version may be just a resampled re-jpeg enlargement of the smaller image. I've found that many times. Likewise a larger file size is not assumed to be better. I've found large file size images that were merely due to re-jpeg of a previous jpeg or the result of heavy flaws like moire patterns and excessive sharpening. I've even foung images that were poor quality but the same image dimensions, name and file size as another better quality that I assume to be an original. As if someone posted degraded images intentionaly trying to mislead a sort leaving one with a poor quality image. Not images I got here but elsewhere.
If anyone knows of a comparison software that allows for zoom in that would help a lot.
