How to organize duplicate photos

thanks,

It sounds ike you imported an old library into this iibray -- NEVER import one library into another one - it does not work and creates a massive mess
If you are moving to a new system and still have the old library abailable drag the bad library to the trash and Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

How to organize my photos in albuns and sub-albuns?

Hi,
I have Windows PC and wanted to know how to organize my photos in folders and sub-folders inside the Ipod.
By sincronizing Ipod with a specific folder of your hard disk, all images are updated, but sub-folders are ignored. For instance, if you sinc the My Photos folder:
c:\My Photos\2004\Family
c:\My Photos\2004\Friends
The Family and Friends photos will be cast together, because Ipod only sees one sub-level (the 2004 folder). Can anyone help with this? I tried the Photoshop Album, but I didn't manage to understand this program!
Thanks!

As far as I know your only option is either Adobe Album or Photoshop Elements. (Not Album SE or a trial version)
Once you've got your photo's imported, there are two tabs on the righthandside, tags and collections (? - I have a non-english version). Create a new collection and drag photo's on it or rightclick on a photo and select "Add to collection..."
Now when you use iTunes to sync photo's from Adobe it will show the collections you've made and each collection you synchronise will show up with a separate name on your ipod.

HT5043 How to delete duplicate photos

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

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.

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.

How to erase duplicate photos

I Changes thé iOS software because it was broken. When i transfered all my photos from my original software, they have Been duplicated 2 to 4 Times! I nos have 47 000 photos in my MacBook Pro! how CAN I erase the duplicate photos?

FWIW I've tested the following apps on a limited library due to the demo restrictions and here are my impressions of each:
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 library.
PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.

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 and both versions are saved.

Frankly I have no idea what you are doing or what is going on
A couple of notes
1. It is strongly NOT recommended to uncheck the preference to copy photos to the iPhoto library. It does not save space at all and has no advantages and many, many disadvantages
2. It is not clear what you are doing but remember that you only organize using iPhoto. You never make changes using the finder
3. Folders in iPhoto do not hold photos. They only hold other folders or albums.
4. For duplicates duplicate annilhator is a good solution. But again this is all done in iPhoto. Nothing is done in the finder

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 to remove duplicate photos with Elements and Revel?

While on vacation this year, I uploaded pictures from my camera to my iPad to Revel. When I got home, I copied all of the pictures from my camera to my harddrive on my laptop and imported them into Elements 12. On my laptop I store photos in subdirectories like this: \Lisa\albums\Pictures201509. I found duplicates of most of my photos in \Users\Owner\My Pictures\Adobe\Revel\My Catalog Old. I would like to clean these up so I only have once copy of each photo on my harddrive.
I have 3 questions:
Why did this happen?
How can I clean this up and not complete mess up my Elements and Revel catalogs?
How can I prevent this in the future?
thanks,
Lisa

The folks at www.overmacs.com/photosweeper told me that they are upgrading their product so it will work with Apple Photos. It works now with iPhoto and Aperture. It has many adjustments to detect same name files, and even same or similar content images. Monitor their website for a future release. There is a small fee for the pro version, which is well worth the price.

Where can I find how to delete duplicate photos without manually deleting one at a time? Photos were duplicated when I did a sync with my phone and iPad. Thanks.

How can I easily delete all duplciate photos from my entire library? I really don't want to do this manually as I have many photos. When I did my sync with camera and photos using my iPhone and iPad many of my photos were duplicated. Thanks

Photos does not have a built-in duplicate remover.
Try to restore the Photos library from before you synced and duplicated the photos from your backup.
Most third party duplicate cleaners do not yet work with Photos, but there will be soon one that works with Photos:

Also, Duplicate Annihilator is now available for Photos.
