Find and delete duplicates?  PSE4

Is there a way for PSE 4 to automatically find and delete duplicate photos?
Thanks

Robert
I've seen similar posts, but so far no one has come up with a solution through PSE4. The hiccup is how do you define a "duplicate"-same file name could be two different images in different folders or a file could have been copied and renamed so Image1 and Dad's New Car may be the same image.
If you use the Organizer, it will not import a picture that has enough similar attributes that it considers it a duplicate. I don't know the complete algorithm but I believe it includes, name, file type and size, date stamp, etc. If you try to import a file that Organizer considers in the catalog, it will show a screen listing the files, but I don't think you can copy or capture the data, short of writing it down manually.
Are most of your files still in the camera naming format? If yes, you can do a Search for all JPGs (or TIFs or GIFs or whatever your photo format) and then manually scroll the names for like-named files. This can be tedious, I admit, if you have a large number of files.
Hopefully someone will post with a better solution.

    how to find and delete duplicate photos in photo app

    Photos has no built-in tools to screen the library for duplicates. It relies on the warning on import, that should prevent you from importing duplicates.
    Once duplicate shave been imported, delete them manually, or use third-party tools.
    For example, these new apps claim to work with Photos:
    Power photos:  Fat Cat Software
    Duplicate annihilator: Brattoo Propaganda Software - Products

  • How to find and delete duplicate photos

    I have combined photos from various sources, friends, family, etc. and have found that there are many photos that are the same. I have been trying to find a way to find and delete all the duplicates but am unable to do so.
    Anyone have any ideas please?
    Many thanks
    Roger

    There is no automated may to find and delete duplicates, but importing using iPhoto will report duplicates if you attempt to import the same photo twice. I'm not sure if you have photos that are exact duplicates or photos taken on the same occasion but, in any case, it may be a matter of viewing the photos in date order and deleting duplicates as you scroll through. These will stay in the iPhoto trash until emptied.

  • Find and delete duplicate fotos in iphotos 9.5

    How do I find and delete duplicate fotos in iphotos 9.5

    Here is a list of applications will help identify and remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
    iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
    Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported the library.
    PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
    DeCloner - $19.95 - can find duplicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
    DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
    iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
    PhotoDedupo - $4.99 (App Store) -  this app has a "similar" search feature which is like PhotoSweeper's bitmap comparison.  It found all duplicates
    Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free - was able to recognize the duplicated HDR and normal files from an iPhone shooting in HDR
    Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: iphoto has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
    If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but there are only twp apps that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates:  PhotoSweeper and Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto.  None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have different file names.
    iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates.  IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.

  • I have a lot of duplicate songs on my iPhone 4--Is there an easy way to find and delete duplicates?

    Is there an easy way to find and delete duplicate songs on an IPhone 4?

    A belated hello.  On the topic of duplicate songs / tracks showing up in, say, your iPhone Music app but not in your iTunes Library, with these versions installed ....
    iTunes 10.5
    iPhone 4 running on iOS 5
    .... I discovered this too.  This is what I did:
    1. purchased full album from the iTunes Store
    (once download completed, album magically showed up in iPhone Music app, as expected, without having to sync)
    2. I then went to my iTunes Music view and edited the album year (Multiple Item Information)
    3. Synced
    4. All album tracks showed up in duplicate in iPhone Music app (but not in iTunes view)
    Solution:
    1. in iTunes, I changed back the album year to the one iTunes Store originally downloaded
    2. Re-synced
    3. Now all album tracks show up but no longer in duplicate in iPhone Music app
    Lesson learned: When purchasing music from iTunes Store, leave metadata untouched.

  • How do i find and delete duplicate images in Photos? Help please!!

    With all the image sharing me and other half do my Photos library is FULL of duplicate images.. I need a quick and easy way to find and delete them. I've tried a couple of the free apps in the app store, but because the Photos library isn't a regular folder, they won't work! My library is way to
    big to manually scan through too.
    Any advice would be hugely appreciated!! Thanks in advance!

    Hi Keith,
    Thanks for the advice! However, it's not possible find the really large files this way since file size is not a smart album option. There are too many movies to find them manually.
    Best regards,
    Anders
