Matthew1980, thanks for the reply: It looks like there is a gd module called cmp_image but that would mean I would have to read two images and compare them instead of reading one image and comparing it to data stored in the db, the images right now total around 40,000, so I was thinking that running the external gd lib once and going to the db would reap me a fairly sizable time savings vs. running the gd twice per image.. Let alone the fact that I was planning on totally dropping the supplied full size photo in favor of smaller photos that I can display easier within my design. Not sure the cmp_image module is smart enough to equate a resized version of a photo to it's full size version..
