I didn't see the situation as such a big combinatorial problem if you
could (as I mentioned earlier) pick a base image and a comparison image
and have them overlaid as Moose does sometimes to simplify comparison of
the pair. Choose image #1 as the base and #2 as the comparison. If the
base is better leave the base at #1 and move the comparison image to #3.
If the comparison image is better move the base to #2 and then the
comparison to #3. This way there are only N-1 paired comparisons or 10
vs. 55. This assumes, of course, that you do not change your judging
criteria mid-way through the process (eg; "edgiest" vs "most painterly") :-)
