Software to match photos
Several years ago I printed out a photo from my jpeg at 11"x16". I want to make a larger print from the jpeg - it must be on my drive but I can't easily find it among the thousands of jpegs I have. My thought is to take a photo of the print and have software search my drive for the original jpeg. The jpegs won't match, of course, but they will be somewhat close.

Is there any software for this? Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 00:08, 24 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Here's some Python by the name of Offline Reverse Image Search. Card Zero  (talk) 00:27, 24 July 2022 (UTC)


 * That sounds like it will do it, since it detects near matches. However, I don't know how to run Python code.  Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 01:05, 24 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Well, I found the jpeg. It took a couple of hours of work.  I have my thousands of jpegs in all sorts of folders - hundreds of them.  Too many to look through.  I imported them all into Photoshop Organizer, which shows thumbnails in a grid in chronological order, and I was able to find it (taken in 2015).  Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 03:02, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
