Deleting duplicates (filenames) in iPhoto 6 (SIX) ?

I know there have been other threads on this, but is there a way to find and/or delete duplicates (same filename, same image) from iPhoto 6? (iPhoto Diet is for ver 5 only, for example).

David:
Try Duplicate Annihilator. It's supposed to work with V6. I also heard the someone used iPhoto Diet on a V6 library successfully. But it you try, do it on a copy of your iPhoto Library folder.
Do you Twango?

  • 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

    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 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 lots of duplicates is usually a symptom=n of other problems - most often user workflow - maybe if you told us a bit more and how the duplicates came to be we could help avoid future occurances and even solve this in a better way

  • How to delete duplicate photos in iphoto

    working in iphoto and want to delete duplicates that were created when I used migration assist to import the iphoto library to new machine.  it duplicated all of my pictures.  Using iphoto 9.1.3

    Did you import one Library to another? That's the usual cause of this.
    If you still have the original library the simple solution is to just trash the damaged Library and do it again. This time don't import the LIbrary, just open it.
    Other than that For dealing with duplicates in iPhoto check out Duplicate Annihilator

  • The best app for deleting duplicate photos in iPhoto 9

    Hi, I have stumbled upon many duplicates /triplicate photos in my iphoto library. I was wondering what is the best app/program to use to eliminate the photos to free up space on my macbook.
    I have seen a few posts suggesting apps but many had just as many cons for the pros....I have no problem paying for an app but do have a problem if I can not be reimbursed in the event the app doeesnt work.....
    I do have all my pictures saved to the main "photos" section of the library as well as in seperate folders in "events"
    To clarify, it is while looking at the main photo library is where im finding the duplicate and triplicate photos.

    OSX 10.7.5
    iPhoto 9  8.1.2
    Thanks in advance, Dawn

    That sounds like an issue with iPhoto.  To make sure it's not the applicaiton create a new test library, import a number  photos and import half of them again.  Then try the iPhoto Dupoicate Cleaner again.
    The only aspect of the app that I don't like is that it doesn't let you mark the files as duplicates instead of moving them to the Trash.  iPhoto LIbrary Manages has several options:
    But Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto found all of my duplicates in my test library. Just be careful to not empty the iPhoto Trash bin until you've previewed the selection.
