Duplicate photos in different folders

I have duplicat photos in some different folders. How do I tell which folder, from within Aperture  the photo was uploaded from so I can delete duplicates.

No, I have another internal hard drive which I know store all my raw photo's on and I have 2 or 3 other folders with duplicate images in them on that hard drive but don't know which one of those folders I Imported the images from. So how do Isolve that.So I can deleted the duplicates. Thanks for the reply
If you only want to know, if images in a folder on an external drive have already been imported, let Aperture check:
Connect the drive with the folders
Open Aperture's "Import" panel (the downarrow in the toolbar"
Make sure the option "Do not import Duplicates" is active and no images are excluded by "File type".
Select the folder in the file chooser in the Import panel.
If the Import window stays empty, then all images in that folder have already been imported.

  • Photo stream different folders??

    Ok, so I have an iPhone 5 and I am trying to get rid of some pictures (this is a whole other issue) but I have different amounts of pictures stored?? This is what I have:
    PC: Photostream foder (402 pics)
    iPhone 5: Albums> Photo Stream (275 pics)
    iPhone 5: Photo Stream Icon (198 pics)
    *** is that all about?!?! Surely Photo Stream means just that! I'm getting annoyed that Apple sell it to you that everything is soooo idiot proof, and everything is done for you 'take one photo here, and then it is here when you get home' etc etc!!!
    To be fair, my pictures do tend to show up on my other devices (iPad and apple tv) but I am confused by all the different pictures in different folders.
    Phew!!

    I'm fairly certain that it's an account-wide preference. You could always enable a second user account, turn on Fast User Switching, and only swap to that account to launch iPhoto and do your Photo Stream business.

  • Syncing Photos from different folders...?

    I know it never worked in the beginning-but has someone found a way to sync photos not from only one folder but from different folders to the ipod?
    something like a photo playlist...?

    You can sync from different folders if they are all sub-folders beneath a main one. If the main folder you are syncing from has sub folders they will show in the box below "Sync photos from folder". For example you may choose to sync from My Pictures and inside My Pictures you have folders for different subjects. You can choose which of those subject folders you want to update to the iPod or you might want to make a folder in there especially for iPod photos. You can drag these folders into an order of your choice.
    Here's a simple "How To" on downloading photos from a folder and sub folders on your hard disk to an iPod:
    1 Create a folder on your hard drive to hold the photos you want on your iPod. Call it iPod Photos for example
    2 Inside this folder create as many other folders as you want (or drag and drop existing ones from other locations on your hard drive)
    3 Drag the photos you want from your usual picture folder into the appropriate folders you just created. (not necessary if you are using pre-existing folders already containing photos)
    4 Open iTunes, select your iPod in the iTunes Source list.
    5 Click the Photos tab and select “Synch photos from.”
    6 Choose “Choose Folder” from the pop-up menu and select the iPod photos folder you created.
    7 Choose the radio button "Selected folders"
    8 Tick the folders you want to go on the iPod and click Apply
    When you go to Photos on your iPod you'll see each of the folders you have chosen in the menu and you can choose whichever one you want to view.

  • How to Interleave photos from different folders to Create a Slideshow.

    I have LR 1.4.1 and am trying to create a slide show from photos collected in folders marked by the day they were taken. In addition there is a folder loaded with jpeg Title Pages intended to be inserted to mark the beginning of a new day in the slide show.
    I am having trouble figuring out whether I should be in Library to interleave all these photos and title pages or in Slideshow. I am not able to reorder or compile into a new order in any mode I can detect. Should I be in a Quick Collection or just a Collection or somewhere else to order all the slides. Should I be in Grid view or Loupe view? Can I see the order and alter it in the Film Strip perhaps?  I need to be able to SEE the slides from a source and the resulting ordered slides for a slide show to accomplish this.
    Has anyone had this problem and solved it? I tried to accomplish this in iPhoto with no luck. Is what I am trying to do outside the norm for creating slide shows?
    Any and all suggestions are appreciated.
    Raymond Zachary

    Ray,
    It sounds like you tried to open a new catalog, not create a collection.
    Go under the file menu and click open recent. You should see your old catalog listed. Once you have that opened, go through and mark all the photos you want. You can use color labels, or some nonsence keyword, like qwqw or any method you like. Once you have them all marked, be sure you have all photos selected, then filter for your keyword or color lable, or whatever you marked them with. Then select all those photos. Then go down the right panel until you see Collections. Click on the + icon. In the dialog box that opens, give your collection a name and be sure the box "Add selected photos to this collection" is checked. Then click OK. Now you'll have a collection of the photos you want to use. If you want to add any to the collection, you can just drag them into the collection name. Be sure you're dragging from the thumbnail, and not from the border around the thumbnail. If you want to remove a photo from the collection, just right click it and check remove selected photo from collection.
    You can then take your collection, and reorder them anyway you like. And then go to the slideshow module and there you go.
    Hope this makes sense.

  • How do I import photos to iPad2 from different folders in my Mac?

    How do I import photos to iPad2 from different folders in my Mac?
    I have a few folders of photos in my mac that I want to be on my iPad2. How do I go about on doing that?
    It seems like I need to put all the folders into one folder and point iTunes to that main folder.
    The thing is I don't want to copy them (waste of space) and I don't want to move them (my photos are organized).
    So is there a way for me to import photos from different folders in my mac to my iPad2?
    Thank you!
    BTW... I don't use iPhoto.

    Find software (which may not exist) to export them in a photo format (jpeg, tiff). IPhoto will not do it

  • What is the best way to move files to different folders in a plug-in?

    I am writing a plug-in that needs to move files on the hard drive.  I am using LrFileUtils.move(from, to) and everything is fine except that the catalog is not updated when the file is moved.  After the plug-in runs I can use Library > Synchronize Folder to get the catalog back in sync with the new locations of the photos on the drive, but this manual step is less than ideal. 
    I am unable to find a way to move the files within the plug in that also updates the catalog (like dragging photos to a new location within the LR Navigator pane).  Lacking an API for this, I looked for a way to programmatic execute the Synchronize Folder menu item, but was not able to find this either..
    Can anyone recommend a better way to move photos to different folders within a plug-in that also updates the catalog?

    Hi Andy,
    There are 3 main file formats that you can consider writing your data out to in LabVIEW:
    ASCII
    Binary
    Datalog
    ASCII
    ASCII files are useful because every operating system and almost every application can read/write ASCII format files. Use ASCII files when:
    Other users or applications will need to access the data file.
    You will not need to perform random access file I/O
    File I/O speed is not crucial
    Disk space is not crucial
    Examples within LabVIEW Example Finder: Fundamentals >> File Input and Output >> Write to Text File.vi and Read from Text File.vi
    Binary
    Binary byte stream files are more specific to data storage and retrieval. Use b
    inary files when:
    File I/O will remain in LabVIEW only -- no other applications will be needing to write/read that file. There is no standard formatting for binary files and thus other applications or operating systems may be unable to read the file.
    Files are smaller than ASCII files
    Easier and faster random access to data
    Examples within LabVIEW Example Finder: Fundamentals >> File Input and Output >> Write Binary File.vi and Read Binary File.vi
    Datalog
    When to use datalog:
    If you need to record data with a mixture of types, it can be cumbersome to convert everything to ASCII or to keep track of the binary formatting.
    Datalog format is binary and internal to LabVIEW, so again only use this format if no other applications or operating systems will be needing to perform file I/O on the file.
    Examples within LabVIEW Example Finder: Fundamentals >> File Input and Output >> Write Datalog File
    Example.vi and Read Datalog File Example.vi
    Good luck!

  • I recently deleted many duplicate files. In the midst of it my Itunes songs are not in Itunes. They are in two different folders. One under 'Music' in my ID. And two under a MyMusic file in Documents. How do I know which one to import?

    I recently deleted many duplicate files. In the midst of it my Itunes songs are not in Itunes. They are in two different folders. One under 'Music' in my ID. And two under a MyMusic file in Documents. How do I know which one to import?

    Thanks, this is not an ideal answer but probably the most sensible one in my case.
    I will try it unless someone has a better suggestion, but I'll wait a bit as it will take me a few days anyway (I had actually tried to create a new smaller playlist or download by album, but at this stage the music app is not letting me queue a list of songs for download - I think I will have to disable and re-enable iTunes match which will probably delete all the songs).
    I have to say I am not very impressed with Apple here - having an online backup of all your data and beeing able to restore it to a new device easily was a strong selling point of iCloud. For music, they are Definitly not delivering at the stage.

  • How to make different folders in photo album

    I have been addings photos in album. Now I want to make different folders in the album but unable to do so. Please guide.

    I may be misunderstanding what you want to do,
    You can create albums on the iPad in order to organize photos but I believe that you must be running iOS 5 at least. Your tagline shows iOS 4.3.2. It's been quite a while since I was running iOS 5, but I'm pretty sure it was introduced in iOS 5.
    If you are running iOS 5 or higher, launch the photos app and tap on Photos, then tap on the Edit button in the upper right. Select all of the photos that you want to place into an album by tapping on them. Then tap on Add To and choose Add to New Album. Name the new Album in the popup window and then tap Save.
    If you are not running iOS 5 - you have to import the photos from the camer roll to your computer, creat the albums on the PC and then sync them back to the iPad via iTunes.

  • I have 220 photos on my camera. I want to create 6 different folders for a download. Can this be done? I need instructions on how to do this.

    I have 220 photos on my camera to be downloaded to Lightroom. I want to organize them in 6 different folders. Can this be done?  I need instructions to do this.

    You cannot direct a single Copy Import operation from your card into multiple folders, but you can either import multiple times, selecting different photos each time from the Import grid, and specifying a different destination, or you can import everything into one folder, then use drag-and-drop in LR with different selections of photos into various folders you create within LR’s Library module folder panel.  As long as you do the folder creating and photo moving within LR then LR will know where the photos have been moved to.
    What I do is move the photos into multiple folders on the card, itself, outside of LR, using Explorer’s thumbnail previews to guide me, then drag-and-drop those folders to their final destination on my hard drive still outside of LR, then do an Add Import, by dragging and dropping those folders onto LR Library’s central area, so that’s another way.

  • My photos have been scattered throughout different folders.

    Also the correct file name does not appear on the top line when I display photos.  It's like something just came in and mixed it all up.  It seems to have only happened to recent photos and the older ones I think are ok.  I am using PSE 9.  I recently had to switch external hard drives and reconnect my catalog to the new hard drive.  But that seemed to be OK except for losing most of the tags on my photos. 
    When I tried to import missing files (because they are still on the harddrive) I get the message that the files already exist.  However they are not showing in the files they are supposed to be in.
    I don't know what to do, I have a very large catalog which includes lots of digital scrapbook downloaded files.
    Please help!

    -all of my photos and downloaded images are on a single external drive
    -I tried to do a backup from organizer, but I kept getting errors when I was doing it.  I think some of the files were "corrupted", so I was never able to do a complete backup.  I have almost all of my photos on cd's that I make as I add a new folder.  However, I don't have my scrapbook downloads on cd's, only on the hard drive.  And I have a lot of those files.
    -25688
    -It took me many days and attempts to get it done.  I tried several ways, but I think the final way I got it done was through windows, copying and pasting (while the old drive was working because it was an intermittent problem with that drive).  Then I reconnected through the organizer.
    -I just tried to reconnect and chose "all missing files", but didn't see where to "select all", and the message came up as no missing files.
    -yes I had them named.  Most of the photos were in folders named by date of entry into pse.  The scrapbook files were named by specific kit names.
    I checked in my computer and looked at the hard drive and the photos are in the correct files there (Thank you God!).  My folders are listed by date and then the named ones, alphabetically.  The last few folders are scattered through the recent dates and then trickle down through the alphabetical folders.  And then the alphabetical (scrapbook) folder contents look like they have just been "pushed" down 5 or 6 folders.
    I have thought of trying a system restore, or reinstalling PSE9.  But I thought I would start with this forum, so I don't do something unnecessary or make anything worse.
    Thanks for any help.

  • Comparing photos from two different folders...

    Is there a way to have side-by-side two images from different folders? Say, one from 2008 and one recent?  Lightroom 3.6...

    Sure. In Grid mode, select the two folders that the images reside in. Click on the first folder and Ctrl-Click (on PC) on the second. Then find and select the two images in the Grid. Then invoke the compare feature.

  • Need help:  deleting duplicate photos & freeig up space

    when i first got my macbook pro and transferred all my photos to it from another computer, the iPhoto library was separated into 5 folders (iPhoto Library 1, 2, etc).
    For whatever reason, when i opened iPhoto, there were thousands of duplicates and triplicates and even.... quadruplicates (if thats even a word)
    Anyway, i had to manually delete each duplicate photo, which took hours.
    the problem is, i dont feel like any memory was freed up. Reason being, my pictures folder (where the iPhoto libraries are located) is about 9 GB, while my iPhoto library with 1880 photos is only 2.7 GB.
    So i'm wondering if there's a way to create a new iPhoto library using my current library of photos, and deleting all those extra libraries in my Pictures folder, without in the process deleting any more photos (that aren't extras)

    Max Good:
    I'm guessing you imported each of the other iPhoto libraries into the current one by dragging the entire folder into the open iPhoto window (or selecting the iPhoto Folder to import). That brings in all of the thumbnail files, modified files along with the original files. That's why you have the duplicates.
    Duplicate Annihilator will remove duplicate copies of photos as long as they are the same size. So it will remove duplicates of the full sized images and duplicates of the small thumbnails that were imported. It may help.
    If you want to restart from scratch first run Duplicate Annihilator on your current library. Then do the following:
    1 - copy the Originals folder from it to the desktop.
    2 - open the Originals folder and type Command-F. Set the following search criteria in the search window: Kind = Image, Size is less than 100 KB.
    3 - in the Search results window will be all thumbnail sized image files. Select all of them and drag to the Trash.
    4 - launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and create a new library.
    5 - drag the Originals folder from the desktop into the open iPhoto window. this will import your originals into the new library with the same rolls as the previous library (the roll dates may be different, however).
    If you have keywords on the photos that you need to save you can apply Tutorial #1 after running Duplicate Annihilator and before Step 1.

  • How to hide duplicate photos that origins from the photo stream and imported photos?

    Hi,
    I are using my camera both with an IPad (through SD-card reader) and directly to my iMac.
    I want to keep the full photo archive on the iMac.
    Now the problem, that I encounter, is that if I use the iPad to look at the photos, those photos will be transfered to the photo-stream.
    Then later when I import all my photos from the camera to the i Mac, those photos that I happened to import to the iPad will show up as duplicate in iPhoto.
    Of course I only want one copy of a photo regardless if they arrive from the photo-stream or through a direct import to my iMac.
    Is there a way to fix this problem or is it simply a bug?
    I think it would be rather easy for the iPhoto software to detect duplicates and hide them.

    You can use one of these applications to identify and 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 dupicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
    DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
    iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
    Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: i photo 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 diffferent 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.
