Basically, the similar photos scan is of 4 types, and the following image explains each of them in a very easy-to-understand manner. If you’re going for the Similar Match scan, click the Similarity Settings link to open up the Settings window where you can select the scan of your choice. Similar images are those images which even the naked eye can detect to closely resemble each other, but not close enough to be classified as exact duplicates. Exact duplicates are pictures that match each other bit by bit, pixel by pixel. Next, you have to choose whether you want to scan for exact duplicates or similar ones.
If you’ve mistakenly added a directory, just select it in the address box which is showing all the locations that have been lined up for the scan, and click Remove Path.
