How can I search for duplicate photos in iPhoto libraries?

How can I search for duplicate photos in iPhoto 9.5.1 library. Installed on iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, Mavericks 10.9.5.

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 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.

How can I easily delete duplicate photos- it appears several events have duplicate photos

how can I easily delete duplicate photos from events- it appears several events are dupicated

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

HT201317 How can I find a specific photo in Photo Stream?

How can I find a specific photo in Photo Stream?

Yeah...that's the one thing that's odd about PS Touch; you'll have to browse for your desired images. I'm not sure if it expects for the user to have what could be hundreds of images in a folder (which is why I would prefer to go through Android Gallery; I can open the first image from Android Gallery into PS Touch, but if I want to add any more I have to do it PS Touch's way).

How do I find exact duplicate photos in photoshop elements 10?

Hello everyone,
Just installed PSE10 on my windows 8 pro machine I got with a scanner. I am using the organizer and I tried the find>Visual Searches>Search for Duplicate photos but I got photos that were simillar and exact. I have a lot of exact duplicates that I want to delete, but don't want to delete the picutres that are similar. Can I change the parameters by which PSE10 uses to restrict the output to exact duplicates?
Thanks

How can I delete phantom/duplicate photos off my iPad?

Ever since I updated to iOS 6, I noticed that every photo in my iPhoto library appeared twice on my iPad. So I went into iTunes and unchecked Sync Photos. This should have deleted all photos from my iPad, right? Well, it didn't: all my photos are *still on my iPad* (there's only one of each photo now, though). This is taking up a lot of space. How can I get rid of these photos? I tried deleting them directly from my iPad, but it won't let me.
I even tried rebooting the iPad, then connecting it back to iTunes. It still has "sync photos" unchecked. So logically there shouldn't be any photos at all on my iPad. But there are. How can I get them off?

Never mind, I got it. AFAIK, it's a bug in iOS 6. It went away after I played around with iTunes for awhile. I did this:
- Told iTunes to sync photos individually by album.
- Made sure I had all the albums deselected, so logically, 0 photos should have been synced.
- Synced with my iPad a few times to make sure the phantom photos and albums went away. It took a few tries, but I got it.
- Then synced again to put all my photos back onto the iPad. No more phantom photos or albums or duplicates.

How can I find all local photos from ipad2?

I am having difficulties finding photos in local album in ipad2. When I try to add photo from a event folder that has 500+ photos, only a subset comes up and I am not able to select the photo I want. Is there a setting I need to have? Thx.

As a workaround you can enable "Always use native photo browsers" in the PS Touch settings. It's listed under "Preferences" -> "Access Local Photos setting". See attached screenshot

I am using iMovies 11. How can I prevent getting duplicate photos

I am using iMovies 11 in MacBook Pro. I dragged in photos from one particular event, now I am trying drag a couple more photos into this same Movie Project from a different event, but every time I drag and drop, it is duplicating the very last photo that was originally there from the first event and only showing that last photo from the first event instead of the new photos I dragged in. How can I correct this?

Post your topic in the iMove community here.
That way you can get feedback directly from iMovie users.

How can I find my restored photos from trash?

I went into my trash and selected a number of photos then clicked restore photos to library. Now I can't find the photos anywhere...I've looked throughout my events and all my other folders. Where are they?????

I assume that you are talking about the iPhoto trash? If so then they should be returned to the event they were in prior to being moved to the iPhoto trash

How can i find a deleted photo book?

I deleted a photo book by mistake. Is there anyway i can get it back?

Sure by loading your backup from just before you made the mistake. That is why you have backups. Computers, software and humans fail and a backup is the only protection against these failures

You can try this :
select a.*
from table1 a, table1 b
where a.id = b.id -- check this line to see if you require it
and a.rowid <> b.rowid
and substr(a.town,1,3) = substr(b.town,1,3)

How did you get the photos from your Canon into your iPad?
