I need a program that will look at a photograph, and not it’s data , to determine if their are duplicates in my library. After it checks each photo then I need to dispose of them. Can you help ?

If you use a Mac I would suggest photo sweeper. Also if you updated to the newest release of apple software both on iOS and Mac OS it has it built in to the photos app.

I would never trust a program to cull my images for fear in deletes an excellent one. Yes, I painstakingly go through each image on my card and assess it. I do this each day in camera.

I saw something like that online. The one below isn't the one I saw, but it sounds interesting.

Adobe photoshop rlements used to group similar photos together. I do not know if it still does. I have not used it in years. If it does, you could then decide which ones you wanted to delete.

Apple Photo pulls up duplicates side by side, you decide which one to keep. I just culled over 200 duplicates. There were no “almost the same”, they were all true duplicates.

Get a trial of excire. Also it really helps if you tell us your platform and software.

You don't say what program you use for editing already. Lightroom has a plug-in that can use and it's fine duplicates That's good.
If you're looking for a standalone awesome duplicate photo finder is also good no matter what you use the deletion should be up to you after you compare the duplicates do not allow any program to automatically do it.

Looking at that list, one of them didn't show a price. I kept encouraging me to download. I had to do a Chat to find out how much it cost: $40 a year.
Looking at Quick Photo Finder, that costs $42 - and it's your forever!

when you say "and not it’s data" do you include its checksum! Or do you mean text attributes like name, date, or number of bytes?
I believe that when the free version of Ccleaner compares the *contents* of files it is doing something like a checksum or other hashing.
https://www.online-tech-tips.com/cool-websites/what-is-checksum/
One way to think of this is "if one byte has one bit different, then the files' contents are different, i.e. not identical".
Obviously, it is more efficient for the comparison software to first check name and size before hashing the contents. If [name identical] is false or [byte size identical] is false, then the complete construct [name identical AND byte size identical AND contents (aka checksum) identical] is false.
Cleaning out identical files can be very useful as a first step in cleaning out storage.
