notes:

since we're ranking similarity i really don't see the point of multiple sliders so other than (maybe) stylistic congruency and general edits (link to sheets etc.) i dont see what should change.

​

​

This similarity rating demo can load multiple images as stimuli and display 2 images at a time. The order is fully randomized. Image file names/numbers and rating values will be stored, and can be downloaded afterwards.

​

Instructions:

1. Upload images

2. Write image filenames
