Suggestion - open an image and find similar

What about a feature to to open an image and find similar?

It may already be there and I have not yet found it

I think would be useful for others as well

...and the valuable enough that I would buy a couple more licenses.


Occasionally I have to find previously edited versions of an image. Such as when a customer requests an updated image or logo. (in the most recent case for one that I did 6 years ago)

As it is now I create a folder put in a single image and search against the rest of the hard drive then search the matches for that folder.

But of course that returns all matches in all files, which is slow. A search against profile (think Tineye) would be much faster.

Good idea.
Another way of doing it is to put your image in a folder outside of the rest of your search, then set your 'rest of drive' search to 'Don't scan against self'. that way only the matches you want are returned!

Ahhh :)

Good to know the feature is already there - thanks.
I'll give a test spin this afternoon
