We identify symmetries with complex symmetric constraints, where the symmetries nevertheless can be handled by a similar method. For this aim, we introduce partial symmetries. We identify those symmetries in two problems. The photo problem is a well known example problem, while the alignment problem is a real world problem from bioinformatics.} }
