How to eliminate Duplicate photos in I-Photo as I now have Snow Leopard

Problem to Solve: I loaded from my both memory chips and also from my camera, many photos from a long trip. I was concerned to delete prior from the chip to loading on my IMac, after loading during trip to my MacBook. Now I have about 5,000 duplicates or more, which is taking up a lot of GB space on my HD
Aside from going thru one by one, is there a way the computer can find the duplicates and eliminate one of them or two of them etc.
Please help

    how to delete duplicate photos in iphoto

    iPhoto has no built-in duplicate detector. You can spot duplicates by sorting your photos by title or date, or use third-party applications like iPhoto Library Manager, Duplicate Annihilator, Photo Sweeper.
    Old Toad has published a great list of apps that can screen your iPhoto Library for duplicates, see this link:
    Re: How can I search for duplicate photos in iPhoto libraries?
    My favourite is Photo Sweeper, because it lets me stay in control of what will be deleted, shows all metadata, lets me define the criteria for marking duplicates, and can recognise duplicates of different sizes, based on histograms or pixel maps.  PhotoSweeper

  • How to eliminate bad photos

    How to eliminate bad photos-I come in from shooting with 100 photos. How do I review them quickly to dump the mistakes. Slide Show & Review don't let me easily mark the ones to be eliminated, and contact sheets are too small to evaluate. Other than opening a photo, evaluating it, closing it, choosing another, opening it, evaluating it, etc., is there a better way

    The best I can come up with is Browse in Bridge, select a photo, Space Bar to view full size. Then if I like it, Space Bar again to go back, then select the next photo, repeat.  And if I don't like it, Ctrl+Del to eliminate it, then proceed. A very slow process. Any suggestions?
    You are on the right track. There are multiple solutions but here are 2 that I use the most:
    1- Create a custom workspace with at least the content panel, folder panel, filter panel and preview panel. Enlarge the preview panel by placing the cursor on the border of the panel until you see a move icon to both sides.
    Here is one of my workspaces I use for this purpose:
    But you can create your own including custom background colors etc. For this method be sure to have selected the option to create HQ previews (default setting after install) and let it have a bit time to build all the previews properly.
    In this workspace you either select the files you want to view or just select the first. Then use the arrow keys to navigate through them. If like one use the shortcut (for Mac) Cmd + . (dot) to increase the rating with one star. Cmd + , (comma) decreases your rating with one star, when no star it goes to 'reject files'.
    After one round you can use the filter panel to select only the one star rating and go on with a second round if needed and even more, up to five stars. (their are other shortcuts to use, see under the menu 'label') but for me this is handy because all the keys are close to each other.
    The second option I sometime use is the full screen with space bar. For this you best have also set the preferences to Generate mointor sized previews (Bridge prefs / advanced). This can use more space in your Cache file, depending on screen size (I have a 30" so bigger files but very good views).
    You can use the same keys (arrow for back and forward and cmd + . for star rating. After you rated one file in full screen the star rating section keeps visible.
    It is a very easy and quick way to select files. But I oonly select upwards and don't bother about rejecting files. Disk space is very cheap and I find it quicker to not bother about rejected files but focus on the good ones, using the filter panel helps focussing better and when finished selecting you can start working on your selected files or first move the non wished files to an archive location. Plenty of options

  • How to prevent duplicate photos

    I have CD's where there are pictures that appears several times (same picture on different CD's). When importing pictures from those CD's, how do I prevent that the same picture is read twice (or more).
    Regards
    Janne43

    Create a new folder on your desktop, download the picture files from the CD's, delete the duplicates.
    As I see it, you now have 2 options:
    Burn new CD's or a DVD from the desktop folder as your source, and use the  Editor & Organizer - or
    Use Editor & Organizer, using the desktop folder directly
    Suggest that you stick to one of these options for this group of photos so as not to confuse the path in Organizer.

  • How can I locate photos in PSE6 now that Bridge Home is discontinued?

    How can I locate photos in PSE6 now that Bridge Home is discontinued?  When dragging a photo from my Desktop to the PSE6 symbol in my Dock, PSE6 informs: "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file". Thus I am compelled to open this file with hundreds of photos on my Desktop, and here it's imposssible to find it because the thumbnails are so tiny.  Therefore much time is wasted in having to open them all one at a time in PSE6.  I did not have this problem with my Photoshop 7.

    Barbara,
    Your persistence in trying to find a solution has turned out beneficial!                                                                                                                                     It was in 2009, shortly after receiving my PSE6, that it informed me of Bridge Home now being discontinued.  So that was what compelled me into the tedious procedure described in my original thread.  Now, after having read your comment, I gave it a different try - I dragged a file with photos to the "BR". symbol in Dock, and to my surprise legible thumbnails opened in Bridge CS3 .
    The message saying that Bridge Home has been discontinued is no longer there, so my thought is that PS must have added to the program in the meantime.
    Thanks for your help.

    I have an iMAC G5 PowerPC (not Intel) running10.5.8.  I sync my iphone to iTunes - but just learned I must have Snow Leopard to do so for my new iPhone 5S.     Yet I can't install Snow Leopard as the G5 is not Intel.   What do I do?  How do I move music and pics?  And keep them synced up as I purchase more? 

    Sorry, but that is correct. You need Snow Leopard to sync your phone and the latest version of iTunes and you old G5 cannot run that.

  • My iMac is connected to a Brother printer. I have Snow Leopard 10.7.3 As of yesterday, when I try to print a PDF it prints as a blank black page. Does anyone know how to correct this so that the PDF will print as I see it on screen?

    My iMac is connected to a Brother printer. I have Snow Leopard 10.7.3 As of yesterday, when I try to print a PDF it prints as a blank black page. Does anyone know how to correct this so that the PDF will print as I see it on screen?

    If you are running Mac OS X 10.7.3 then you have Lion installed, not Snow Leopard. It's probably not important to this discussion, but something you should be aware of.
    What application are you printing the PDF files from? Have you tried opening the PDF file using the Preview application that can be found in the Applications folder? Does the issue still occur? Have you tried other PDF files from a different source?
    Another poster in the following discussion thread reported that this method resolved their black blank PDF issue when viewing (and presumably printing) PDF files from Safari.

    This solved my question by mcbuffy  on Apr 20, 2012 11:29 AM 
    There's a solution if you want to see the PDF inside Safari's window :
    Go to the folder : Your Hard Drive / Library / Internet Plug-ins.
    If you see a file with PDF in its name drag it to the trash.
    Quit and restart Safari to test with a PDF.
    If it works you can empty the trash.
