Under “Dominating color” you can specify which color the searched images should primarily contain. This is calculated using average values of the overall picture. For this reason, there may also be inaccurate images in the search results.
The setting "Only show photos that exist multiple times as a search result" means that the search result only contains photos that appear twice or more in identical form in the searched area. For this purpose, the image data is compared and the file sizes are also compared. This allows you to find, review, and delete photos that exist multiple times if necessary.
NOTE: Specifying a minimum or maximum size in pixels, or specifying a color will increase the search process time because it requires analyzing the content of each image found.
