			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have a large disorganized library of images stored on your computer, surely there must be many duplicates on your hard drive.  To manually find those duplicates would mean physically searching each folder and subfolder for photos and then cross-referencing them. But using a helpful desktop application you can now automate this process and identify not only duplicate but also similar images. This app is called Image Comparer.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-46037" title="ImageComparer" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/ImageComparer.jpg?570cd5" alt="imagecomparer" /></p>
<p>Image Comparer is a desktop application for Windows operating systems. As mentioned above, the function of the app is to compare images within a gallery of images and then find out which images are duplicates of one another. The image can also be set on a similarity filter that judges images by their percentage similarity. Once your results are compiled from your specified image folder, they are displayed as thumbnails.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-46038" title="Trial" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Trial.jpg?570cd5" alt="imagecomparer" /></p>
<p>You can click on the “Image Pairs” tab to view the duplicate pairs. With each pair you will find a percentage of similarity figure clearly mentioned. You will also find both images displayed and their filepaths displayed.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-46039" title="Gallery" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Gallery.jpg?570cd5" alt="" /></p>
<p>You can selectively remove the duplicates by deleting those images  or exclude a pair from the list entirely.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-46040" title="Actions" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Actions.jpg?570cd5" alt="" /></p>
<p>Image Comparer comes as a free version with a 30-day trial and a 1 year purchasing license of $49.95. But the developers of the app have been generous enough to provide the first 10 commenters on this post with free 1 year license of the app. So hurry up and start commenting!<br />
Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>A user-friendly desktop app.</li>
<li>Compatible with Windows.</li>
<li>Detects duplicate images on your computer.</li>
<li>Mentions percentage of similarity between images.</li>
<li>Lets you remove duplicates.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever thought it would be fun to make some really old pictures animated? Well the New York Public Library is hoping that is the case, because they have created Stereogranimator to allow you to do just that. In fact, they actually want you to do it. They have over 40,000 images that they want altered, and they are turning to the public to make it happen.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Stereogranimator1.png?570cd5" alt="make 3d images" /></p>
<p>Simply head to their website and click &#8220;Create.&#8221; From here it will guide you step by step through the process of creating a GIF or 3D image. You simply need to drag the frame around the image you chose until it looks just right. On the right side of the screen you view the product and click to view it in 3D (which requires 3D glasses, otherwise it just looks blurry).</p>

<p>You can also click on the &#8220;Galley&#8221; to view the images created by other people. This will help give you an idea of where that &#8220;sweet spot&#8221; is and what the final image should look like.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the coolest things about combining the iPhone&#8217;s camera with applications is the ability to take your photos and do awesome things with them right from the device. VicMan Visage Lab is an example of this. This application automatically touches up your pictures to make any people in them look better. It might hurt your self-esteem a little to have your images cleaned up, but that&#8217;s the price you pay for unnatural beauty.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/vicman-visage-lab1.jpg?570cd5" alt="automatically enhance photos" /></p>
<p>What makes this app great is that it requires no graphical design skill. You simply add a picture, and it will process it and make the improvements. After it finishes, you can deselect improvements you don&#8217;t think are necessary and see how the image changes in real-time. You can also revert back to original with a single tap, so you can see what it looked like before it was enhanced.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Today people usually share photographs of events through their Facebook photo albums. But only you can upload photographs to your Facebook photo album; if your friends have pictures of the event, you first need to get them and then upload yourself.
