Deduping software- finding duplicate images help

I have a large collection of illustrations (in the thousands) and I often find duplicates within the collection, which I have to tediously identify one at a time. I'm interested in a deduping application that will not only identify duplicates, but also be able to find similar illustrations with slight variations (that have been altered using photoshop). The collection is entirely comprised of photoshop tiff files.
Any suggestions?

I use ThumbsPlus to locate duplicates with Image files. It has a Sort by Similarity, and its algorithms are pretty good. They keep being improved upon, with each new release. It is NOT freeware, but is not that expensive, from Cerious Software.
For all file types, Dupe File Finder does a very good job, but is not fast. Also, it does not display Image files, so it is not as easy to use visually, as ThumbsPlus is. I cannot recall if it was freeware, or shareware now. So far, it has been 100% correct for me.
Good luck,
Hunt

How do I find duplicate images in Aperture?

How do I find duplicate images in Aperture AFTER importing my entire library from iPhoto? There must be a way to do that, right?
Please let me know the secret.
Thanks!

Léonie, Thank you for your rapid reply!
I am using Aperture Version 3.4.3 and 9.4.2. I downloaded the Duplicate Annihilator but it gives me an error message that says this:
I have no idea what that is all about since I am using this library in iPhoto and Aperture. I already sent the company an email asking about the problem.
I am seeing dupes that came from my original photos in iPhoto and from iPhoto PhotoStreams with monthly dates; these are listed in my Apertrure Projects listing. Is there a way to SAFELY dump these dupes?
Thanks!

How to find duplicate images?

How do I use Bridge CS5 to find duplicate images and delete them?

I'm having the same issue as aljCharlie. Using Find won't work for me due to several reasons. First, I have 30k+ images in the folder. Secondly, the images have differing file names but are ultimately duplicate images.
So, I suppose this has been asked and answered, but just in case it hasn't: Does Bridge have any sort of visual duplicate finder that compares the content of the images rather than simply the file names? I'm thinking of something like TinEye. Maybe I should post this in the Feature Request forum. Hmm.
Thanks!

How to find duplicate images in Elements Organizer

I have been using many versions of photoshop elements and edited many of my files. So, now I have very many duplicates, near duplicates, and versions of the same photo. I think I have over 20,000 photos and they are taking up too much space. I tried using a duplicate file remover and it removed several thousand, but I still see many duplicates when I run photoshop elements 11. I am tempted to not use the organizer any more and just rely on a folder browser. Does anyone have a solution to this mess?

Best way to find duplicates

hello everyone. i'm trying to free up space on my hard drive. what is the easiest way to find and delete duplicate photos and files. specifically in iphoto. thank you.

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 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 duplicate images with different file names and dates.
DeCloner - $19.95 - can find dupicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.

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

Zen touch - software for finding duplicates in libr

After buying my player and putting 800 tracks on there so far I have found that I have a lot of duplicates of songs. Some are ones I want (album version v li've version of songs) but sometimes I have exactly the same recording a few times. I mean who wants 4 versions of Dead Ringer for Love? (some people don't want <EM>one</EM> version of that!). I suppose this has mainly happened due to loading compilations on the player but now I need to find some effecti've software to help me find duplicates.
I can use Mediasource and just sort by the song title and then manually check for the duplicates but I was hoping someone can advise a better way.

Itunes is the worst prog ever!.. I used it to transfer some songs to my dad`s ipod, but it took so long time. Snd to just import music to the the library took 9 hours!!!! And you cant even drag and drop music files.
And a friend of mine who got the ipod mini bought the redchair software. because itunes was so terrible.
The creative mediasource is much better.. go on Creative!!Message Edited by ut_king on 02-09-2005 :47 PM

How do I sort images and find duplicates?

I need to sort through numerous images, find duplicates and weed out poor ones. Preview doesn't seem very helpful for this.

Where are the photos? If they are in an app like iPhoto and Aperture then you need to be very careful.

Need help in finding Duplicates in file or folders

Hi
Could anyone pls help me in doing a program in java for finding duplicates byte by byte in any folder or files or any windows diver.. Pls help me in programming.
For example: I got a software dfsetup which is the thing that I wanna learn by programming.
Regards
Alimozzaman(Rony)

I have no clue at all . could u pls help me step my step that I could learn from the very beginning. Thanks for your reply.I have to ask, what is this for?
Is it for a class? Are there no other people doing this assignment? Can you not ask the instructor for help, because we all know they're there for nothing other than to be called the instructor?
Is it for a job? How did you manage to get this job? Did you cheat your way through your classes to get a fancy little piece of paper saying you could program?
You can't tell us that by coming here you thought you could have your homework handed to you completed on a silver platter, and that we wouldn't have any qualms with doing your work for you?
What possesses you people? I don't understand the mentality.

I have a 2009 MB Pro. I have been trying to do some cleaning of files and discovered that in Finder, All Images, I am experiencing a frustrating problem. I spent a few hours trashing over 4K images and within a few hours, I had as many more. Help!

I have a 2009 MB Pro. I have been trying to do some cleaning of files and discovered that in Finder, All Images, I am experiencing a frustrating problem. I spent a few hours trashing over 4K images and within a few hours, I had as many more. I did a couple of thousand trashed images and half hour later, more arrived. There are a lot of images that seem off the internet, including gif.s, png.s. Help!

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

Finding and remove duplicate images

Is there a way to locate duplicate images so I can delete them from library?

There is nothing built into Aperture to do this. There are some third party applications that might help.
Google *duplicates in Aperture* for a lot of information.

How do I update my iPad 2 to iOS 5, I tried going to settings,general ,software update but I can't seem to find the software update button pls help :)

Go to Settings > General > About and see what iOS version you are running. If it is lower than 5, you won't find the software update button. It was added when iOS 5 came out. The current iOS is 5.1.1. To update to the current OS, you'll need to connect to the computer you sync with (this is important - do not connect to a computer you do not sync with as you will lose you apps) and update the software in iTunes. Once you have updated to the 5.1.1, the software update button will be in Settings going forward. Make sure you have a lot of time. Updating from below 5 to 5 or higher is a somewhat lengthy process.
