When is a duplicate image not a duplicate image, or is it?

First I like images and know what I like others may not and vice versa. Images often drive me to watch a title so I like them, but when there are too many it just creates noise that then detracts from every image.

So the links below are the same scene and I'm pretty sure the same image with one being blown up (or zoomed or whatever the right term is) and slightly cropped from the right and made a little brighter.

My question is whether this should be considered a duplicate? So while not an "exact" duplicate, it sure seems the same.

Thoughts?

The true image
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0244365/mediaviewer/rm291356928

The same image exploded
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0244365/mediaviewer/rm804339712

And just because I ran across these, are these not duplicates? The 2nd one has a slight white bar.

Hi MikeTheWhistle,

Yes the examples from Star Trek are duplicates, however 1 is the primary image for the episode so we can't accept the delete on that one, however this isn't obvious to users. The best way to tell if the image is the primary is to go to the episode, click on the primary image, compare the rmconsts in the URLs and submit the delete against the image which isn't the primary one for the episode. This is much more likely to get accepted.

I hope this helps.

In your second example, both of those URLs point to the same rmconst - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103405/mediaviewer/rm1868546304, was there a problem with your URL linking in the post?

Thanks,
Will

In addition to the above said. IMHO.
When a primary image is of poor quality comparing to other duplicates, a contributor needs the step by step:
  1. Tag a better quality duplicate with all the same tags that the primary image has;
  2. Report the primary image to be changed for the reasons including the poor quality;
  3. Wait for the primary image is actually changed;
  4. Report the poor quality image (ex-primary) for deletion.
Hope this helps
