Is there a way to find blank images in the image search?

What determines that an image is "blank"?

Good point. Let me re-phrase. If the image is say just nothing or black/white with no discerning features or completely blurry. Is the software intelligent enough to check that?

You can do this-

1. Create reference image(s) in a folder (e.g. Allblack.png, Allwhite.png).

2. Add the reference folder to the scan and set as "Master" (Master=Yes)

3.Add the folders you want to search to the scan.

4.Scan using the following settings:
-Image Mode
-Very Close Match (you can experiment with looser matches, but note that 'Exact Match' won't work unless the images to find are identical in resolution)
-Make sure that 'Same aspect ratio' and 'Same resolution' are NOT checkmarked


I've tested this and it works.
