SEOMoz mistaking image pages as duplicate content

[JHT]

I'm getting duplicate content errors, but it's for pages with high-res images on them.  Each page has a different, high-res image on it.  But SEOMoz keeps telling me it's duplicate content, even though the images are different (and named different).

Is this something I can ignore or will Google see it the same way too?

I believe you can ignore it. My guess is that since these pages have no textual content, therefore all these pages are being treated as duplicate content pages.

Duplicate pages - Two or more pages having same content. In case they do not have content, they will still be treated as duplicate as both of them have nothing.

Are they the same image? as it is posible for SE's to tell if they are.

i would put a caption for each image if posible to help differentuate. also a unique alt tag.

@Alan - The images are not same as mentioned in the question.

I don't think search engines can detect duplicate images http://images.google.com/search?tbm=isch&hl=en&source=hp&biw=1024&bih=572&q=shailendra+sial&gbv=2&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=

I'm having the same issues with the SEOMoz crawler.. but with a gallery featuring 15 thumbnails for each page. I'm wondering if Google is also seeing all of the gallery pages as duplicate content... The site that hosts the gallery was hit by the 2nd Panda update. The gallery is a small section of the site.. the rest has unique articles.

I have heard people caim they can not, but i know they can, i dont know that they do, but i know they can.

in uni we learnt how you can send code in images by altering pixels and how to detect if the image has changed and conctains code. Each image is just a long code. its a simple check sum
