Can Iphoto detect duplicate photos in a library?

Team
Been using Iphoto as my primary photo viewing option, containing photos going back some 10 +years. I am alos running time machine for the back up option. In that time I have had a  library crash which resulted in the libraries being rebuilt. I am also now taking more photos on my Iphone and then improting them into the library. I have two issues:
1) What ever the cause I when I view the library structure I have countless rols which I would prefer to organise into a more structured and complete album. I understand under Albums you can create folders and sub albums for viewing what you want but the I photo viewing screen defaults to the library which in my case defaults to countless events or countless rolls.
2) What ever the cause I have ended up with many of my earlier albums / rolls containing multiple copies of the same photo - up to 5 and 6 in some instances. I am reluctant to go through an delete them one by one as I am concerned that without checking the individual photo size I may end up deleting the photo and leaving a thumbnail.
3) is it possible for Iphoto to detect duplicated photos (like I tunes can do with music) so that these can be viewed in a separate screen and the duplicates viewed and deleted.?
Cheers in advance.

Mate hope your on a retainer, Duplicate Annihilator, cheap, functional and seems to be doing its things.
Thanks.
Is it possible to ge the Library to only show events from like the last month?? rather than showing everthing - I have to scroll through pages of events / photo rolls to get to the ones I am using at the moment.
Cheers again

  • Can iPhoto find Duplicate Photos

    Can iPhoto find Duplicate Photos like iView Media can? I don't mean finding duplicate names, but rather analyzing the actual photo itself and finding doubles.
    Strangly enough, this is one of the remaining reasons for me needing to use iView for some tasks.

    No, iPhoto hasn't this functionality. It would be a nice feature though.
    You can also use GraphicConverter to find your duplicate photos.

    how can i delete duplicates photos in iPhoto without doing it one by one? Thx

    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 the only duplicate finder app that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates was PhotoSweeper.  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.

  • How can I find duplicate photos without going through all 5000  one at a time?

    How can I find duplicate photos withough going through all 5000 one by one?  I have numerous duplications and used to be able to click on Edit and Find Duplicates and could clean up all the duplicates easily.  Now that option is gone.  I still have lots to delete.

    I do backup everything using Carbonite.Please don't tell me it is bad, too :-)  Also, especially with photo files, I do have other backups of those I am concerned about. Probably not the best in the world, but a log better than many people who I know about.
    Again, I really have not seen any problems with MacKeeper.  I imagine that if people do not read and follow instructions, they could have problems. For example, it is possible to scan all your files and see them in order of size. If you start deleting things, without knowing what you're deleting, you could cause trouble. Even when the computer scans for so-called junk files, you can look at them and decide for yourself if they are truly junk. I've never seen any that were not.
    So, I will look at the complaints anyway to see them. I am open to change, although I hope I do not need to drop Mackeeper as it does things like keeping tracking of applications updates that I need. Please note that I definitely am not a MacKeeper employee or anything close. Just using it and happy with the the results.
    I did download the recommend file for finding photo dupes and ran it.  There were very few duplicates, in any case, As I said before, the MacKeeper dupe finder was very slow when I ran it over ALL my files. That was a year ago and it did find many non-text dupes.

  • 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...

    duplicate annihilator - http://www.brattoo.com/propaganda/
    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

  • Can Lightroom Find Duplicate Photos?

    Fellow Forum Members,
    Does the latest version of Lightroom have the capability to find duplicate photos?  I have a bunch of JPGs and no desire to go through all of them to find duplicates.  If Lightroom can not find duplicated,  can anyone out there please recommend an app that is good at finding duplicate photos or near duplicate photos.  Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

    I cannot recommend "lightroom-plugins.com".  I purchased the software, tried the registration key and it still ran in demo mode.  After 48 hours, still no response from customer support.  The site appears to be inactive.
    I did find a free version:

    I'm not sure how well it works, it is processing now.
    Good luck!

  • IPhoto loads duplicate photos from my Nikon D3100

    iPhoto seems to be creating duplicate photos for every image on my Nikon D3100.  The camera playback shows only one image in the memory of the camera, but when it loads to iPhoto, there are two of the same image.  This is true for downloads of hundreds of shots as well as those of just a few.
    Anyone encountered a similar problem?
    Thank you
    P.S., Camera and iPhoto worked as expected for about a month (i.e., no duplicates).

    What shooting settings are you using on the 3100? Raw+Jepg?
