Dec-12 swiss: Thanks for the good program

Hey I bought the Lite Version.


This program was very easy to start with. The startup display is very very helpful and shows one the way to quick results.

I was impressed how many similar images I had in my image collection. The program did indeed find the same images, where the sizes varied and even edited ones. It also found images series where a person poses differently in front of the same background. The Image Pair Assessment window creates funny nice effects when set to flicker (fast). It really makes it easy to spot the differences in images. I don't really know about XOR, AND and OR, but they seem to enhance differences in unusual ways. It took me a bit to understand the ignore button, but now I find it very helpful. Also very helpful is that one can pan and zoom those three images syncronously.


The program is very fast and has many options. It is good organized and When I started to look around I found many useful features. I like that one can test a collection of images against the main collection and identify possible duplicates before one adds those images. The longer I look at this program the more useful features I keep finding. Just realized one can throw a folder full of images onto the program icon and it will search for those in the main collection.

I was very astonished about the pattern search. I tried some color patters and found mostly what I was looking for. I never expected something like this is possible.

I did not really understand about the finger print size, but the program does what I expect, so it cannot be that important. Its maybe for others.

Ohhh, and then let me point out ordering this program and getting it up and running was a snap.

Thanks for the good program

- Hope to win the Pro-Version thought I have only 10000 images in my collection at this time. -

What a weird name. This companies name is Alcohol Soft . Yeah well ... what is it?

This is a cdrom emulator and also does some cd copying in different formats.

I am pretty mad about some software I bought a few years back. How can one be so annoying and require a cd to be present all the time in order to make a quick information lookup? I won't buy anything from that company anymore.

Anyhow, my idea was to use Alcohol 52% to be able to make look ups when ever I feel.

Installation of Alcohol 52% was easy. Be warned, it might install yet another browser toolbar, if you don't uncheck that during installation. During installation one had to reboot one time. Thereafter I took that cd and started the new toy. I had to create cd images four times with different settings until my software did recognize this virtual cd properly. I was about to trash this program, but now I am happy that I don't have to do the DJ anymore.

Thumbs Up

I did use it for a few days now and can say that my impression did not become better. The program produces too many false positives and too many false negatives to be of much use.

I need a program to replace the very very old HotMetal Pro HTML Editor.

I've tried some, but let me say something about phase 5 Version 5.5.

This is a very nice editor and you could get into details, but it fails for a few requirements that I have.

I didn't find a spell checker for English and worst of all, no WYSIWYG mode for longer text entries. A website is not only code, but also content and I need to be able to write content with a minimum set of functions like Bold and Italic and an automatic line wrapping.

I am still working with Notepad for HTML code and HotMetal Pro for text paragraphs.

Ohh ... before I forget ... it had a problem with file locks. Disturbing, when you want to see a preview with your external browser.

I was looking to speed up mail management as I am tired of reading all subjects in order to decide whether it is spam or not.

I decided to download and try MailWasher as it was recommended on the MS website.

The setup and installation was straight forward and easy. The program learned everything except passwords from my mail program.

First I learned that it was important to read how MailWasher works. If you don't, MailWasher and your Mail program might work concurrently.

Now it was impressive to see MailWasher in action and flag messages as "Known Spam", "Possible Spam", "Friend" etc.

But now what?

I still have to read every subject and make a decision. That's no advantage at all. I didn't find a way to make MailWasher delete at least "Known Spam" automatically to reduce the subjects I have to read. Worst of all MailWasher declares Friends and accepts any mail carrying that address or domain. If you own domains or operate a website, then you know that email addresses are easily forged and you cannot trust the sender. This means that MailWasher declares all such mails as "Good", so you are still stuck with the spam.

Nice program, but useless


I would buy and use it, if it would check all emails for spam and didn't fall for forged headers and if it would let me reduce the number of subjects I have to read.
