Is there any way to delete a bunch of photos that I imported into my library twice by accident?

  • 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

  • Organizing and deleting Duplicate Photos in iPhoto library?

    Can I easily organize and delete duplicate photos in my iPhoto library?

    These applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
    iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
    PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
    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.
    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 am trying to delete duplicate photos from events in i=-photo but it deletes the photos entirely from all events including the one I want to keep.  How do I keep the original and delete the duplicates?

    I am trying to delete duplicate photos fron my events in i-photo but it deltes the photo entirely from all events.  How do I keep them in the original events and delte the duplicates without sending them all to the trash?

    Are you referring to Events or Albums?  A photo can exist in one Event only.  However, it can be in multiple albums, books, etc., which uses pointers to the original photo in the Event.  In those cases if you delete the photo from the Event all occurrences of it will be deleted from the library.

  • How do I delete duplicates in the library?

    Although iPhoto does ask you about duplicates when importing from the camera, sometimes duplicates occur anyway. Because of recent problems with my library there are no many duplicates in my recovered and restored library. Is there an easy way to search out and delete duplicate photos once they are in the library?
    The version is actually iphoto '09

    I had a library on both desk top and lap top but kept them separate. Somehow the one on the lap top got messed up so I have been trying to be sure I didn't lose photos by going back to various folders where I had kept some and importing them into the library on the desk top, However, I think the dates got messed up on some and for some reason on the imports iPhoto did not catch all the duplications. I did not intentionally at least import one library into another.
    So I will try Duplicate Annihaliator. I assume it is relatively safe to use.
    Thanks

  • How to find and delete duplicate photos in photo app

    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

  • Is there a way to delete duplicate photos in iPhoto? I have approx 10,000 duplicates?

    Is there a way to delete duplicate photos in iPhoto without having to delete them individually?

    The real question is how this happened - iPhoto is very good about avoiding duplicates and since you have a very large number it must be the result of a user error
    Why do you think you have 10,000 duplicates? How many photos total do you have?  Just making a guess I suyspect that sometime you moved to a new system and imported your old library into the new library - Hint - NEVER import an iPhoto library into another Photo library - it does not work and creates a massive mess.  If you  did import an iPhoto library into your current library the best solution (assuming teh old library is still available) is to drag the bad library to the desktop (if you have space to continue it is best to delete it later after everything is done and tested) and Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
    Even if you eliminate "duplicates" - in the suggested case they are not duplicates but different versions and at best you lose all edits and non-destructive editig done and are starting with original photos - not really good

  • Do you know of a simple way of sorting and deleting duplicate photos on  aperture

    Hi , Do you know of a simple way of sorting and then deleting duplicate photos on Apeture.
    Thanks Phil

    There is no simple way. The best strategy really is to take care not to import duplicates.
    What is your Aperture 3 version?
    What kind of duplicates are you asking about? 
    If you imported exactly the same file multiple times, sorting your images in the Finder by filename or creation date will display them side by side.
    If you have diferently sized versions of the same image, edited versions, or versions converted to a different format, then sorting by creation date will not help; you might try to sort by capture date, but that may fail, if there were different imezone settings when you imported the images.
    You could also sort be filename, if you did not rename the images on import.
    If you renamed your versions, adjusted the date, modified the file properties by writing to the original files, try to sort by other tages - faces, location, keywords.
    There are some helper applications to scan your Aperture library and tag duplicates: (I have not really tested any of them)
    Duplicate Annihilator (Mac) - Download  good to detect accidentally imported thumbnails
    http://photosweeper.en.softonic.com/mac  : This app can actually detect edited duplicates based on statistic measures and histogram similarity.

    I need help on how to delete duplicates in my library I had all my music from google play put into my itunes and it duplicated so I have two of each song and wish to have all duplicates deleted how do you do this easily?

    Photos does not have a duplicate finder tool built in. You would need a third-party application to track them down, if you do not want to do that manually.
    Try  Powerphotos:

    Or Duplicate annihilator

    how to delete duplicate photos in iphoto

    iPhoto has no built-in duplicate detector. You can spot duplicates by sorting your photos by title or date, or use third-party applications like iPhoto Library Manager, Duplicate Annihilator, Photo Sweeper.
    Old Toad has published a great list of apps that can screen your iPhoto Library for duplicates, see this link:
    Re: How can I search for duplicate photos in iPhoto libraries?
    My favourite is Photo Sweeper, because it lets me stay in control of what will be deleted, shows all metadata, lets me define the criteria for marking duplicates, and can recognise duplicates of different sizes, based on histograms or pixel maps.  PhotoSweeper

    I am responding to your reply to davidfrommonterey (Jul9,2011).  To quote: "If these are seen in iPhoto it would be good to figure out how they got there since it is typical that iPhoto will not import duplicates.

    Duplicate annihilator is a good tool for finding duplicates - http://www.brattoo.com/propaganda/
    If you are seeing them in the finder then don't - you should never go into the iPhoto library using the finder

    I have a similar problem.  My point is my photos are not importing as duplicates, they are  duplicating and moving  from one album to another, sometimes bumping the contents of said  folder to another location.  I cannot find a logical explanation.  I tried the trial version of Duplicate Annihilator, but that was a bust since it could locate only five (5) dups.  Any suggestions?          BRENDA Sfrom Charleston
