What "near-duplicate" means here
Two files are grouped when they are visually the same photo: the same frame resized, re-saved, cropped by a few percent, flipped, or with exposure or colour changed. Each group shows the hash distances that linked it.
Limits
- Different angles, poses or moments from the same shoot are usually not detected. Stock agencies may still treat them as similar content.
- Crops larger than about 5% are often not detected.
- Only files in this batch are compared — not your existing portfolio.
- This is not Adobe's similar-content review. Adobe may reject submissions for similar content; its internal criteria are not public.
