Duplicates Photos

A few weeks ago, we were not using Photoshop Album Starter Edition. We were using some other kind of tool which is really a tool to manage files, not photos. It had nice photos features like thumbnails and slide show, etc.. But to manage them, catalog them, classify them... we were creating folders.
A file can only go in one folder at a time. So we were.... copying... the file over to multiple folders. What a waste of disk space. Each file I was copying I hated it.
Now we are in heavens!
When I imported all my 26000 photos into PASE, I noticed that it complained about a lot of photos that it could not import. Are those photos the duplicate photos, the copies? I tried to find duplicate photos in my PASE catalog but could not find any. Maybe I was unlucky, or maybe they are not in the PASE catalog because the import discarded them?
I would like to get ride (permanently delete) all duplicate files from my hard drive to reclaim space. Is there an easy way to do this with PASE? If not, any recommendations to make the job easier would be most welcome. I do not want to go thru 26000 files one by one to search for duplicates.
Thanks.

Kenneth, no I did not. Seems like I'll have to make a small script to handle that (I am a developper).
I found out because after I imported I saw a notice telling me some duplicate files were not imported and I discarded the notice too fast. When I was tagging files I realized some files were in a directory that was not the primary directory where this file should be in and after digging I found out it imported only one of the file and I then remembered about the notice.

  • 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.

  • HT204022 i have several copies of my photos on my ipad under photos not photo stream    There is no delete button when I tap the duplicate photos.  How do I delete these pleas?

    I have 4 and 5 copies of my photos under photos on my ipad.  I do not have a delete button to delete them.  Also, my icloud is upto date but my new photos are no longer streamimg to my photo stream.

    Before deleting anything be sure they are actually duplicate photos.  If you create an album on your phone, then add photos to it from your camera roll, the photos in the album are not duplicates; they only contain links to the actual photos in camera roll.  (Albums are like music playlists; they don't contain the actual photo but just a link to it so that you can look at a subset of your photos.)  Thus, if you delete the photo from the camera roll it will be deleted from all albums that may have contained it (just as a song would be deleted from any playlist that contained it if you deleted the song from your music library).
    Similarly, photos synced to your iPad from your computer are all contained in the photo library.  Just like albums created on your phone, any albums synced to your phone will only contain links to the actual photos in the photo library.  If you delete the photo from the photo library, it will be deleted from any albums that may contain it as well.  This video may help explain this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60MevRF53ck&feature=channel&list=UL.
    All that said, you can delete photos from the camera roll by either opening them individually and tapping the trash can icon, or by opening the camera roll in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, tapping all the photos you want to delete, then tapping the Delete button at the bottom.   To delete photos synced to your iPad from your computer you have to delete them by connecting your iPad to your computer, going to the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings, unchecking the photos you no longer want on your iPad, then syncing.  Photos in photo stream are deleted by opening the photo, then tapping the trash can icon.

  • I don't want to know how to delete duplicate photos anymore. I would like to know why Apple have not put in delete duplicate option menu in iPhoto? Very curious. Is it to frustrate users, so they have to go out and buy another apple photo product?

    Just want to know why Apple have not made an options menu to remove duplicate photos in iPhoto? I know about downloads you can purchase to delete Dups, but I'm very interested to find out from apple themselves as to why they left this out, to die without knowing this is like having viruses on a pc or waiting for the web page to pop up on windows...
    Option
    A. Is it to annoy the user, to frustrate them enough to go out there and buy another apple photo product?
    Or
    B. Is it to annoy the user, to frustrate them enough to commit suicide, to reduce population in the world?
    Is there a third reason? Can someone help me, otherwise I'll have to go with option B.

    We have three operational computers, one does not have iTunes on it.  Since Apple is saying I have more than 5 authorized computers, and I can't imagine what they are, I am afraid to deauthorize all my computers.  See what I mean?  I just wanted to ask the question about how I can find out WHICH computers Apple thinks I have authorized, so I can decide if it's safe to deauthorize them all or not. 
    You could have more 5 computers authorized if you ever, for example, reformatted a hard drive or replaced a hard drive without deauthorizing the computer first. Apple's system would see that as a different computer, even though you don't. There's nothing to be afraid of in deauthorizing everything and the reauthorizing what you actually have. You won't lose any data. Mistimp is correct, they can't tell you which computers are authorized.

  • IPhoto '09 version 8.1.2:  If I permanently delete the photos in IPhoto trash, will the same duplicate photos be deleted from the Events library?

    For IPhoto '09, version 8.1.2:  If I permanently delete the photos from the IPhoto trash, will any of the duplicate photos in the IPhoto library also be deleted?

    1. There are no duplicates in iPhoto unless you imported two or more copies of the same photo
    2. If you are useing the defaults in iPhoto and delete a photo from an event and empty the iPhoto trash and the system trash all versions of the photo will be gone

  • How can I delete all the duplicate photos I have in iPhoto?  There are hundreds.....

    Can anyone help me?  I have noticed a large number of duplicate photos appearing in my iPhoto.... probably after we have connected several iOS devices that are synced.  Is there a way for iPhoto to identify all these?  If not, is there a third party program?  This is annoying, to say the least!

  • HT204655 How does photos deal with duplicate photos

    I Have multiple iPhoto libraries and an Aperture library. How are duplicates photos handled when I upgrade to Photos?

    There will be no duplicates unless they are in a Library already. Upgrading to Photos does not merge multiple libraries. If you want to do that, do so prior to upgrading.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Is there a way to delete multiple duplicate photos easily?

    Is there a way to remove duplicate photos.  I have a hard disk crask and the backup put multipul copies of photos in the photo file.  Is there an easy way to eliminate them?

    Sounds like you imported that back up rather than restored it. Do you still have it? If so, it would easier and faster to restore it correctly.
    If not:

    iPhoto Library Manager

    How may I quickly find and remove duplicate photos in my catalog?
    Somehow I have 100's scattered thru my catalog.

    Ray
    This question has been posted before and I don't remember anyone coming up with a clean way to find "duplicates".
    You could select a photo and try Find Similar (by color) or something like that and hopefully the copies will pop up. The hiccup is you have to have a "starter" image to compare, you can not just say Find All Files That Are Similar.
    The Find by Filename might work, but you again need a starter image. Also if one file is titled My Two Nephews and the same photo is labeled Two Boys Fishing, finding by name won't work.
    The best bet would be to select one of the duplicates as you notice them and delete from catalog; you can also select delete from hard drive if you are confident you don't need the picture on your hard drive.
    Organizer is not supposed to accept duplicates, but I believe it hiccups sometimes.
