The first image displayed is considered the original image, but you can click Make original for a different image to update this.

pHash comparison
We find duplicates based on pHash (perceptual hash) comparison. We turn the image to black and white, make it smaller, and calculate the hash. When you run the duplicate image finder, the hashes are compared and if they are the same, these images are considered duplicates
