Any way to easily locate and remove duplicate photos?

I recently went to Italy and loaded my digital photos into iPhoto. My wife loaded the same CF card so I now have hundreds of duplicates. Any ideas on how to find the duplicates other than looking at each photo individually?

  • Have over 20,000 photos, any way to easily find and delete duplicates?

    So I got more than 20,000 photos and I know many of them are duplicates. Used to have the Kodak picture program that when you had all the pictures listed it would show duplicates next to each other so that it was very easy to delete them. Does Elements 13 have a similar feature?

  • Is there a way to automatically detect and delete duplicate photos in a library

    I just imported a load of photos into my main iPhoto '11 Library from several older MAC's Photo Libraries. Despite repeatedly using the "Don't Import Duplicate Photos" dialogue box, I have many duplicate photos. Is there a way to automatically detect and delete Duplicate Photos?
    I also have iPhoto Library Manager installed on my MAC, but cannot seem to locate on it anything that would do this.
    I have over 4,000 photos, so would really appreciate some help here! Thanks in advance...

    And NEVER import an iPhoto library into another iPhoto library - doing so des not work and creates massive duplication
    if you still have all of the original iPhoto libraries I recommend you drag the bad one you created to the desktop (delete it later when everythin has successfully been completed) and start over usin iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  to merge the libraries

  • How can I find and remove duplicate photos in iPhoto?

    What is the best way to find and remove duplicate photos in iPhoto?

    Are you seeing these duplicates in iPhoto or via the Finder?  If it's in the iPhoto window then you can use one of these applications to identify and remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
    iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
    Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free
    Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when one library has been imported into another with iPhoto 8 and earlier.
    PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
    I also prefer iPLM as it is more than just a dup finder.  It's a the most versatile iPhoto utility available.

    How can I find and remove duplicate photos from my computer?

    Terence,
    Yes, the duplicates appear in the iPhoto window. I have folders with same name occuring two or even three times sometimes with exactly the same set of photos (ie photos with the same ID) and sometimes with a limited set of photos. Other  folders appear only once.
    I normally take my MacBook with me if I'm shooting a lot of photos, such as on holiday, and then want to transfer them to my iMac when i get home. Other times I transfer the camera's memory stick directly to my iMac.
    I have great difficulty transferring the photos from my MacBook to my iMac. I don't want to store my photos on my iDisk due to the length of time it takes to upload them.
    Thanks again.

  • Find and remove duplicate photos

    I recently copied or imported a large number of photos from external drives to iphoto, but the process seems to have peppered many duplicates of photos throughout my collection.  Usually I iphoto asks if duplicates should be deleted, but it didn't in these instances.  Is there a way for iphoto to search and identify duplicates and then delete those extras?

    léonie:
    Here's a more up to date list of the potential dup removal apps with the results of some of my testing:
    These applications will identify and help 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 into another.
    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 iPhoto 11, can I easily find and delete duplicate photos?

    Is there an easy way (without going through thousands of photos and deleting them manually) to find and delete duplicate photos that are in my iPhoto library?

  • My site has been hacked. Any tools available to locate and remove "Code injection"?

    Google has identified a couple of pages on my web site which malicious code installed into them and Google has listed my site as harmful.   "Malware infection type: Code injection."
    I searched for the code through Dreamweaver-  Edit- Find and Replace but came up empty.
    Does dreamweaver have any other tools to help locate the malware?

    No, DW doesn't have any kind of malware finder/virus removal tools.
    The files would be infected at the server level if Google is picking it up and those files will need to be deleted.
    You may or may not have an issue in your local files, chances are good that they're totally clean.
    Talk to your hosting company about getting the server disinfected.

  • Is there a way to search for and delete duplicate photos in iPhoto.

    In the course of copying events and photos from one computer to another I've ended up with multiple copies of thousands of pictures. I've organized them both by name and by date and been deleting the duplicates manually, but there are just so many it would take a thousand years. thanks

  • How to find and delete duplicate photos in iPhoto

    How do I fins and delete duplicate photos in iPhoto?

    There are two apps, actually one app and one Applescript script, for finding and removing duplicate photos from iPhoto. They are:
    Duplicate Annihilator
    iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates (free)
    HOWEVER, only try the above if you are seeing the duplicates in the iPhoto window.  If you are seeing duplicate images via the Finder then you probably do not have duplicates.  That's because at a minimum iPhoto will have two separate image files of each photo, the original and the thumbnail file. If the photo is a portrait oriented photo from a camera with the auto-rotate feature there will be a 3rd, modified image file in iPhoto, the rotated version.
    So be sure where you're seeing these duplicates.

  • Having recently updated Firefox, there now seems to be a long delay before many webpages load. Is there any way to easily revert to the previous arrangement, for example by removing new features that came with the upgrade that I probably don't use?

  • HT1338 i have about 88,000 songs in my music library, some are duplicates. Does anyone know of any Apple Product or 3rd party software that will identify and remove duplicates.

    I have about 88,000 songs in my music library, some are duplicates. Does anyone know of any Apple Product or 3rd party software that will identify and remove duplicates.

    Backup your music to an external source before doing this, just in case you delete the originals by accident.
    iTunes will show you the duplicates.  But I recommend tagging their comments or another field once selecting them to ensure you don't accidentally delete both the original and duplicate.  You can always select all of them and change all their comment tags at once.  Once you've done that, stop showing duplications, and then sort by the comment field.  This will allow you to determine whether only the duplicates were shown in the show duplicates, or the originals.  If you see any without comments, then you can go ahead and delete the duplicates.
