</p>
<p class="para block">
1) If necessary, extra data is read into memory for the comparison stage, the progress bar will indicate this stage with text that resembles “reading dimensions...”, “reading checksums...”, or “reading similarity data...”.
2) The images are compared using the selected method, the progress bar will indicate this stage with the text “comparing...”.
3) The results are sorted for display, the progress bar will indicate this stage with the text “sorting...”.
</p>
<p class="para block">
Stage 1 is only used for the Dimensions, Checksum, and Similarity compare methods.
</p>
<p class="para block">
