Need help: deleting duplicate photos & freeig up space

when i first got my macbook pro and transferred all my photos to it from another computer, the iPhoto library was separated into 5 folders (iPhoto Library 1, 2, etc).
For whatever reason, when i opened iPhoto, there were thousands of duplicates and triplicates and even.... quadruplicates (if thats even a word)
Anyway, i had to manually delete each duplicate photo, which took hours.
the problem is, i dont feel like any memory was freed up. Reason being, my pictures folder (where the iPhoto libraries are located) is about 9 GB, while my iPhoto library with 1880 photos is only 2.7 GB.
So i'm wondering if there's a way to create a new iPhoto library using my current library of photos, and deleting all those extra libraries in my Pictures folder, without in the process deleting any more photos (that aren't extras)

Max Good:
I'm guessing you imported each of the other iPhoto libraries into the current one by dragging the entire folder into the open iPhoto window (or selecting the iPhoto Folder to import). That brings in all of the thumbnail files, modified files along with the original files. That's why you have the duplicates.
Duplicate Annihilator will remove duplicate copies of photos as long as they are the same size. So it will remove duplicates of the full sized images and duplicates of the small thumbnails that were imported. It may help.
If you want to restart from scratch first run Duplicate Annihilator on your current library. Then do the following:
1 - copy the Originals folder from it to the desktop.
2 - open the Originals folder and type Command-F. Set the following search criteria in the search window: Kind = Image, Size is less than 100 KB.
3 - in the Search results window will be all thumbnail sized image files. Select all of them and drag to the Trash.
4 - launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and create a new library.
5 - drag the Originals folder from the desktop into the open iPhoto window. this will import your originals into the new library with the same rolls as the previous library (the roll dates may be different, however).
If you have keywords on the photos that you need to save you can apply Tutorial #1 after running Duplicate Annihilator and before Step 1.

Is there a way to delete duplicate photos in iPhoto? I have approx 10,000 duplicates?

Is there a way to delete duplicate photos in iPhoto without having to delete them individually?

The real question is how this happened - iPhoto is very good about avoiding duplicates and since you have a very large number it must be the result of a user error
Why do you think you have 10,000 duplicates? How many photos total do you have? Just making a guess I suyspect that sometime you moved to a new system and imported your old library into the new library - Hint - NEVER import an iPhoto library into another Photo library - it does not work and creates a massive mess. If you did import an iPhoto library into your current library the best solution (assuming teh old library is still available) is to drag the bad library to the desktop (if you have space to continue it is best to delete it later after everything is done and tested) 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.
Even if you eliminate "duplicates" - in the suggested case they are not duplicates but different versions and at best you lose all edits and non-destructive editig done and are starting with original photos - not really good

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...

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

How can I identify and delete duplicate photos

is there a way to identify and delete duplicate photo's in I photo?

No one is suggesting that you download third party "crap". What was suggested is that you download a well established and supported 3rd party application. As to why there isn't a "'delete your stupid duplicate photo' option", you'll need to ask Apple that. Apple aren't here. This forum is for Users to help other Users. As to why you import stupid photos, you'll need to ask yourself.

Do you know of a simple way of sorting and deleting duplicate photos on aperture

Hi , Do you know of a simple way of sorting and then deleting duplicate photos on Apeture.
Thanks Phil

There is no simple way. The best strategy really is to take care not to import duplicates.
What is your Aperture 3 version?
What kind of duplicates are you asking about?
If you imported exactly the same file multiple times, sorting your images in the Finder by filename or creation date will display them side by side.
If you have diferently sized versions of the same image, edited versions, or versions converted to a different format, then sorting by creation date will not help; you might try to sort by capture date, but that may fail, if there were different imezone settings when you imported the images.
You could also sort be filename, if you did not rename the images on import.
If you renamed your versions, adjusted the date, modified the file properties by writing to the original files, try to sort by other tages - faces, location, keywords.
There are some helper applications to scan your Aperture library and tag duplicates: (I have not really tested any of them)

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.

How to find and delete duplicate photos in photo app

how to find and delete duplicate photos in photo app

Photos has no built-in tools to screen the library for duplicates. It relies on the warning on import, that should prevent you from importing duplicates.
Once duplicate shave been imported, delete them manually, or use third-party tools.
For example, these new apps claim to work with Photos:
Power photos: Fat Cat Software
Duplicate annihilator: Brattoo Propaganda Software - Products

Do I need to delete my photo,s once I have downloaded them on to my computer?

do i need to delete my photo,s from my iphone after saving on to a computer? will this create space?

Always recommended to keep your camera roll empty...import the photos...delete from your camera roll. If you want the photos on your phone, sync them back to your phone. Camera roll is designed for temporary storage only.
