Whilst viewing a recent presentation by Darin Cherniwchan, a member of the British North American Philatelic Society (BNAPS) Digital Philately Study Group, one learned of this software, Stamp Compare. From the software author's website, he states that "the main purpose of this software is to make it easy to perfectly align two images and then "toggle" between them, to manually compare and identify any differences.
With the current study of identifying and plating print variations found in the engraver's credit at the bottom of the Portuguese Ceres issues, among other variants found on these stamps, the work of others is always of interest,
1926 MOZAMBIQUE - 25 c. Castanho 12 x 11 1/2 (Liso Pontinhado Vertical)
Alas though, the 'Stamp Compare' software is only available on Windows; for those of us using a Linux OS, we are out-of-luck. Even the video tutorial on the website are only for Windows-based machines, i.e. *.wmv format.
If anyone is interested and has the chance to play with the software, it might be worth a go...
Have fun and happy collecting!
