Hey ,

Wondering if any or gurus know of a utility to find similar images or generate a hash from image content (and not just raw data).

I'm trying to de-duplicate some images, but realized some have been renamed AND re-compressed, so there's no easy way to find and eliminate the dupes

I've already done deduping based on sha512sum, but that doesn't help when the image has been recompressed.

Edit: @'ed where I shoulda #'d

Starting from scratch would involved time travel. :D

Not compressing isn't an option, because this isn't art. It's functional photography for a job where storage isn't infinite.
