I have over 2000 WindowsXP thumnails produced by
scanning slides and negatives from various
relatives.

I have used a flat bed and a negative scanner.

They are all out of sequence and it is difficult
to sort them.

Can they be sorted somehow by the colour "cast" that is by the orange or red or blue type overall
tint, because this would be the first step towards
a final sort?

Many old colour tranparencies have a distinctive
shade depending on how old they are.

E.g. what I am looking for is a sort based on
"blue content" or "yellow content".

Please help, Peter

I have only seen this process in programs that are designed to make those mosaics that are made by having thousands of small images to create another picture. They must have some script to makes it sort images by predominant colors. But I am quite sure it wouldn’t base upon the film cast color but the colors in the images themselves.

Thanx, I’ll try to get more info on this.

Thumbs Plus (www.cerious.com) has a sort algorithm that looks for patterns and colours to group images by ‘similarity’. I’ve tried it and it sort of works, but it doesn’t sound like what you want – it has no settable parameters.. Or at least it didn’t in the version I tried – v4 I think.
