Topaz Labs Duplicate Photos Problem
Vikas Medhekar
If you are someone who works with photos and videos often, you must have come across Topaz Labs solutions. Topaz Labs offers various Artificial Intelligence based editing solutions including Gigapixel AI, Sharpen AI, DeNoise AI, and Video Enhance AI.
Gigapixel is an outstanding photo enlargement tool that allows users to upscale their photo by up to 600%. All this while using AI to carefully preserve the image quality. Similarly, Sharpen AI can be used to create tack-sharp images by carefully tackling any noise. DeNoise AI is another great solution for noise reduction in images. Lastly, there’s Video Enhance AI that can help users easily and stunningly enlarge 4K videos. If you head over to their website, you can see sample results of how AI can be used to significantly improve images as well as videos.
Although Topaz Labs has developed great editing solutions, there is one thing they can still add: a feature to detect duplicates. While editing images or videos, users often test different features and eventually, generate several unnecessary duplicate files. When these duplicate files keep lying around in one’s computer, they unnecessarily take up storage space that could be used elsewhere. If you are looking for a solution to remove all the duplicate photos generated by Topaz Labs tools, PictureEcho is a great tool to look into.
Why PictureEcho?
PictureEcho is a licensed tool that performs human-like analysis of visually similar images. It’s a pretty easy-to-use tool that can be used for really affordable rates. It’s compatible with various Windows’ versions and gets the job done within minutes.
All its analysis is done within your local computer and hence, you don’t need to worry about your data being circulated over the internet. PictureEcho does not save or retain any of your images and is fully secure.
How to use PictureEcho?
Using PictureEcho does not require a large amount of time or effort. All you have to do is load the files or folders where you wish to scan for duplicates. Once loaded, you can decide which image file types you wish to run your scan on. PictureEcho works perfectly well with various file types including JPEG, JPG, PNG etc. With a single button click, you can then detect all possible duplicates.
Once the scan has been completed, PictureEcho will show you a brief summary of the number of duplicates found and the memory space that they were occupying. From here, you can either permanently delete the found duplicates or else relocate them to a different location to review later. Before taking either of these actions, you first need to select the duplicates that you wish to retain or get rid of. You can either manually go through all the found duplicate image groups or else, use one of the automatic filters. Using the automatic filters, you can retain or delete images based on several factors such as oldest or newest image, highest or lowest resolution, file location etc. This option will definitely save you from a lot of hassle.
