How do I remove duplicate photos in iphoto?

Hi
I seem to have duplicates within events and across events.  Is there an easy way of getting rid of them rather than identifying each duplicate and clicking on trash?

Duplicate Annihaliator
Or tell us how you got these and maybe there is a better solution - typically duplicates are a sympton of a problem rather than the actual problem

  • Removing duplicate photos in iphoto

    how do I remove duplicate photos in iphoto? easily.

    I have the most recent copy of IPLM (3.8.6) but can't find a way to mark/remove duplicates using it.
    That's not the most recent version of iPhoto Library Manager The current version is 4.0.2. I believe the ability to deal with duplicates came with v4.

  • How can I find and remove duplicate photos in iPhoto?

    What is the best way to find and remove duplicate photos in iPhoto?

    Are you seeing these duplicates in iPhoto or via the Finder?  If it's in the iPhoto window then you can use one of these applications to identify and remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
    iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
    Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free
    Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when one library has been imported into another with iPhoto 8 and earlier.
    PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
    I also prefer iPLM as it is more than just a dup finder.  It's a the most versatile iPhoto utility available.

    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 do I remove duplicate photos on my iMac

    HOw can I remove duplicate photos I seem to have done something wrong and have 5 duplicates of everything

    The best option in that case is to restore your iPhoto library from your backup.
    If your backup is not current it will be a lot of work and a risky operation, even with tools like iPhoto library Manager or Duplicate Annihilator.
    Before you start deleting duplicates make a backup copy of the current state, so you have a fall back option in case you delete accidentally too much.

  • How do I remove duplicate pictures in iPhoto and in folders?

    I have 12000 pictures and duplicate annihilator is so slow and can only be used fopr 500 pictures. How do I remove duplicates pictures i iPhoto and in all the original folders?

    What do you mean by "in all the original folders" ?
    If you purchase and registers Duplicate Annihilator then the 500 photo limit is removed.

  • How do I find duplicate photos in iPhoto

    I have so many duplicates in iPhoto that my library files is way too large by thousands of photos. I need to find a way to weed out duplicate photos. Anyone know how?
    Thanks,
    Barb

    Where are you seeing these duplicates?  If you're seeing them from withing the iPhoto window then you can use one of the apps listed below.
    If you're seeing those "duplicate" files via the Finder then you don't have duplicates.  iPhoto will have a minimum of 2 files in it's lbrary for each file imported.  So don't relay on what you see via the Finder regarding duplicates in the iPhoto library.

    BUT
    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

    There is no Apple provided duplicate remover application. You must have bought a third-party application. Which application is it?
    Photos is very new, and there are only a few apps, that have been updated to handle Photos Libraries are:
    For example, these new apps claim to work with Photos:

  • How do I remove duplicate photos in Aperture?

    Is it possible to eliminate dupes at one time as in "keep on copy trash the rest" without going through thousands of photos one at a time?

    I'm sorry to report that the operation is much more complex than one might expect or desire.
    It's important to understand that in Aperture, "Photo" has no specific meaning.  You import image-format files.  On import, Aperture refers to these as Masters and shows you an Image.  Aperture features a non-destructive workflow: your Masters are never altered.  When you make adjustments or add metadata to an Image, a Version is created.  The Version is, literally, just a text file of instructions that tells Aperture what adjustments to make to the Masters to produce the Image.  It is only when you export an Image that another image-format file is created (to your specifications).
    So your question is better phrased as:  how can I identify duplicate Masters of the Images in my Library?
    Aperture provides no tools to do this.  Duplicate Annihilator - Aperture Edition has been used by some regulars here and is likely to help you identify duplicates.

  • How do I remove duplicate photos

    I have imported an old iPhoto library to my G5 iMac and now find I have a large number of duplicates (~2000).
    How can I easily remove these?

    Cool!
    close iPhoto
    Drag the iPhoto Library folder on the iMac to the desktop
    Copy the iPhoto Library folder from the external to the Pictures folder of the iMac. Launch iPhoto and it should open that library just fine.
    Now navigate through the iPhoto Library folder on the desktop and find the Originals folder. In that folder are Year folders with the names of the rolls.
    find the rolls of photos that are not in the opened iPhoto Library and drag those folders into an open Iphoto Library viewing window to import them (these would be the rolls/folders of photos that were in the iPhoto Library of the iMac before you imported the old iPhoto Library.)

  • 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.

  • Any tips for removing duplicate photos?

    I had over 12,000 photos, with batches of photos in directory structures similar to folders like:

    /NewEvent/ProcessedForWeb
    /NewEvent/ProcessedForPrint
    /NewEvent/ProcessedForScreenDisplay
    Now, I have multiple photos ... is there any way to easily remove duplicate photos in iPhoto?   Other Suggestions?   I'm switching from PC to Mac, and have just gotten started with iPhoto.
    Thanks,
    Richard

    Well, they are duplicates, as far as I'm concerned,  they mess up my orgami slide show by seeing the same photo plastered to the screen three times ... and they were duplicates before I imported them into iPhoto ... but yes, I processed the Nikon NEF file to a proof first image, then to a print optimized second image, then to a web browser optimized third image ... etc ... all BEFORE I imported them into iPhoto ...
    So, now, I was wondering if there was a way to delete duplicte (meaning photos that look alike) eventhough they are different sized ...
    Are you saying that if my source folders had multiple copies of the exact same file, then iPhoto would have only imported one of these files, and skipped the second?
    thanks for your help
