Horoscope Fish was spot on with what I needed: find visually similar photographs to one specific photograph of my choosing. That software appears to be what I'm after - I'll take a closer look after finishing this post.I forgot to mention it is a huge collection of scanned images I'm sorting; so for information:I have 1,000s of unidentified 35mm colour negatives, 1,000s of printed colour photographs and 100s of 35mm colour slides. I'm scanning everything (Canon 9000f) so it can all be organised - both digitally and physically. A lot of the colour photographs are in albums and so are easily identifiable. The negatives are separate and all mixed up. By comparing photographs, I will be able to reunite the negatives and prints without having to do it by hand / eye.As a side point, I'd rather have scans of the negatives of everything because they scan better than the photographs, but I need to identify what they are first and hopefully this software will help.There's no guarantee I have a negative and photograph of every image (I certainly don't have a slide of every image) which is another reason I'm scanning EVERYTHING.Also, I only need to identify 1 image out of a strip of 4 because a strip of negatives will have four images from the same event / occasion, so this will save a lot of the work.The EXIF data wouldn't be applicable as this is created during the scan and so wouldn't be relevant - it has to be the visual comparison.Thanks again for your help - it's been surprisingly awkward putting into words exactly what it is I'm doing and why I'm doing it the way I am.</blockquote>
