IPhone 4 duplicate photos

I find that when taking a photo using HDR on, two images appear of the same shot.
Does anyone know why this is?

The iPhone's HDR feature essentially takes three different exposures that use different exposure settings and then combines them automatically for and HDR image. There will be an underexposure, a regular exposure, and an overexposure taken with the iPhone's camera, they will then be combined into the final HDR image. If you have selected the iPhone's HDR to the On setting then it will automatically do this, and then place the regular exposure and the iPhone's HDR image into your Photo Album.
When you are taking HDR photos with the iPhone you are going to notice that the default setting is to save both the original base photos as well as the HDR photo that is created. This can be turned off easily in the standard iPhone Photo settings, where you can find in the iPhone Settings right above Store and below iPod. There you can turn the "Keep Normal Photo" button to the Off position, which will stop the saving of both the standard exposure and the HDR photo.

  • All my photo libraries in my iPhone have duplicate photos since I have installed IOS 6.  Please help.

    All my photo libraries in my iPhone have duplicate photos since I have installed IOS 6. I work with Aperture 3.3 not iPhoto! Also, most of the photos in my camera library have been deleted without my consent! I'm very ****** about that! Please help.

    Photos in Photo Library are the ones that you've synced from your iTunes to your iPad. To free up space, you should delete these photos on your Photo Library since you already have the copies on your computer: Connect your iPad with your computer > Launch iTunes > click your iPad and navigate to Photos window > check Sync Photos from > select an empty folder and click Apply to carry out the syncing. After then, all photos in your Photo Library will be deleted.
    As for photos in Camera Roll on your iPad, you should copy them to your computer for backup and deleted the copies on your iPad:Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support

  • Iphone duplicate photos in photo library

    I've read some of the postings, but not sure they cover mine. I've synched photos onto my phone, but due to various difficulties, I have some duplicate photos on the iphone. There is no option under photo library to delete a specific photo. If I go to my documents/my pictures/iphone/iphone cache, there are folders marked ithmb. If I could figure out what the photos look like (and I can't open them), I could delete from that cache and then perhpas resync. Does anyone have a suggestion? I'd just like to get rid of some photos that I don't want to keep in my photo library.

    pituspat,
    I would recomend making a folder for the pictures you want to sync over on your Windows-based PC.
    If you want to remove a photo from the iPhone, remove it from that folder, and on the next sync it will be removed from the iPhone.
    Hope this helps,

  • IPhoto shows and imports triplicates (triple duplicates) of iPhone photos – On iPhone only single photos shown

    I recently plugged in my iPhone, only to see that when the contents of the device were shown in iPhoto, there were triples, or "triplicates" of every photo (this put the total around 10,000 photos). Meanwhile, on my iPhone's Photos app, everything looks normal with only single photos being shown.
    I toiled over how to remedy the problem, and found I had no other choice but to spend the MANY hours syncing thousand upon thousands of duplicate photos/videos to my iPhoto library. I then broke down and purchased Duplicate Annihilator to clean up my now ruined library. Because iPhoto made all those duplicates, the file size compounded into many gigabytes. Duplicate Annihiliator had to run for hours before finally cleaning things up. It did it's job well, however the root of the problem still remains.
    At the conclusion of transferring my entire library of photos from iPhone to iPhoto, I had the photos removed from the iPhone so I could start with a clean slate. I took a few sample photos and plugged the iPhone back in to iPhoto. Yet again, the dreaded triple duplicates, or "triplicates" of each photo I took show in the device preview window (i.e. I took 5, non-HDR photos, and 15 are shown—each repeated three times). If I proceed to import the collection, it imports triple of everything into my library.
    Essentially, my situation now is: I have to import multiple copies of everything (takes longer), then I have to run Duplicate Annihilator each time to keep my iPhoto library from being a mess. Just wastes tons of time. How can I keep iPhoto from showing and importing all these multiple copies every time? Again, on the iPhone end, everything looks normal—only a single copy of each photo.
    What I have tried:
    Closing/restarting iPhoto
    Checking for iPhoto updates (there are none, I'm on the latest version—which, as of this writing, is 9.2.3 629.52)
    Deleting com.apple.iPhoto.plist from ~/library/Preferences/
    Using Image Capture (triple duplicates still show in IC as well)
    Disabling Photo Stream
    Removing all photos and albums from iPhone

    I am seeing this problem still, even after trying the Photo stream toggle trick that was mentioned. I have one otehr observation to add.
    If I "Command"+select the first of each photo in iPhoto and then import those (choosing to Delete after import), then the next refresh of iPhone pictures oniPhoto will show all the photos (including the duplicates) gone. So basically something like this.
    1) iPhoto - I see triplicates of pictures on my iPhone.
    2) Command+Select the first instance of each duplicated picture.
    3) Import the selected pictures. Choose to Delete the pictures after import.
    4) Go back to iPhone in iPhoto. No more duplicates of the pictures I imported.
    So this doesn't fix the problem as all the unimported photos still show triplicates, but al least I don't have to run a de-duper on my laptop now to eliminate triplicates.
    This eliminates some of the hassle, but it's still a hassle.
    I hope someone figures this out completely because it's making me hate iPhoto just a little bit.

  • Every time I sync my iPhone with iPhoto I end up getting duplicate photos on my iPhone. The other problem is that I can not delete the dups on my iPhone.   Does anyone have an answer to this problem?

    Every time I sync my iPhone with iPhoto I end up getting duplicate photos on my iPhone. The other problem is that I can not delete the dups on my iPhone.   Does anyone have an answer to this problem?

    Mike whether I create a folder within the Pictures Folder that iTunes uses to sync photographs or just copy them into the main folder the result is the same, I end up with Photo Library plus another album containing an identical set of pictures as contained in Photo Library.
    The User Manual for iOS5 states ...
    You can create, rename, and delete albums on iPhone to help you organize your photos and videos.
    Create a album: When viewing albums, tap Edit, then tap Add. Select photos to add to the new album, then tap Done. Note: Albums created on iPhone aren’t synced back to your computer.
    Rename an album Tap Edit, then select an album.
    Rearrange albums Tap Edit, then drag up or down.
    Delete an album Tap Edit, then tap the delete sign.
    Yes I can Add a new Album, but cannot delete an album already created. The delete sign does not appear.
    In iTunes the only folder that I can see listed is the man one into which iTunes stores pictures, which I have named iPhone Photos.
    When I look on my PC this iPhone Photos folder contains another folder named iPod Photo Cache and a multitude of folders created by iTunes, the named F00, F01,F02 etc etc. and a Photo Database file.
    Now whether I create a seperate folder within iPhone Photos to store my favourite photos in, or just copy them all into the iPhone Photos folder without being encased within another folder, or create a folder inside the iPod Photo Cache folder the result is the same ...
    I end up with Photo Library plus another album containing an identical set of pictures as contained in Photo Library.
    I am going around in ever decreasing circles here and getting nowhere fast!! 

  • Why have duplicate photos begun to show up in collections on my iPhone 4s using iOS 7

    Recently (since I installed OS X Mavericks on my computer, I think) Photos on my iPhone 4s running the latest iOS 7 has been showing duplicate photos in Photos/Collections/Moments, especially for photos taken a month or more ago.  Does anyone no why?  Is it a bug in some program?  I have not had duplicates before (I use the correct settings when sync'ing to avoid duplicates).

    I have the same problem with my iPad mini retina and my iPhone 5 probably since iCloud and am using iOS 8.1
    a. I will get a series of duplicate photos on a device.  I have not identified the event that causes this.
    b. I can select to delete one of the duplicates - but not the other - if selected the trash can won't illuminate - so that's a clue that I don't know what to do with.
    c. I would gladly delete the one offered but then I get the message " These photos will also be deleted from Photo Stream on all your devices"
    d. YIKES what next?  I choose not to delete because I don't know if I am going to somehow delete, well, everyone of them.
    Help!

  • IPhoto-iPhone sync creates duplicate photos

    Every time I sync my iphone with iPhoto, it duplicates photos. It's not photos that were taken with the iphone, but photos that I have imported from other sources, such as wallpaper images. Every week or so I go through and delete hundreds of duplicates. It does this even when specify NOT to import duplicates. Is there any way to stop this behavior?
    Thanks!

    Try deleting the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and delete it ("your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist) launch iPhoto and reset any user preferences you have changed and if you have moved the location of the iPhoto library repoint to it

  • Duplicate photos from iPhone to iPhoto

    It appears duplicate photos are being created when I sync iPhone 6 (most recent software) to iPhoto (on mac, most recent OS and iPhoto).
    When I sync from my phone to iphoto, I will get duplicates of every photo. IMG_0001, IMG_0001_2, etc.
    iCloud photo library is off.
    Photo stream is on.
    Sharing is on.
    When I look at my phone there is only one photo.
    When I look at iPhoto photos there are two of everything.
    This only happens on photos that I take with the phone. If someone shares a photo w/ me in a message there is only one photo.
    I thought with Sharing and Syncing it would recognize duplicates and not upload them. This appears to be being uploaded from the phone itself.
    Any ideas?

    It sounds as if you're looking in iPhoto's "Photos" area.
    Try looking in "Events" in iPhoto.  Also look in the shared area, using iPhoto's left bar.  That left bar in the iPhoto display will help you figure out where those photos reside.

    First of all, there is only 1 picture in my Camera Roll, why does it say 3?
    This is a known issue that third party software like phoneview can fix.
    Second, is there any way to remove the "Photo Library" from the Albums, or is that something we have to keep?
    No. Your photos are not actually duplicated, this is just a pointer to the photos in the various albums you have synced.
    If it's something we must keep, can we at least change the icon next to it so it's not the flower?
    No.

  • HT4236 I can't delete duplicate photos in my photo library

    I have duplicate photos on my iPhone 4S in my photo album.  How can I delete them?

    Photo Library photos are from your computer. Check the album/Folder that syncs with your iPhone. If the dublicates are there, delete them or move them out of this Album/Folder.

  • 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.

  • ITunes syncs new photo albums with duplicate photos

    I have Windows 7 and have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.
    I have been trying to sync photos into an album on my phone. After syncing I find duplicate photos in the album. Only one or two photos have not been duplicated. Also, I can also no longer select "Selected Folders" in iTunes.
    The folder on my PC does not have any duplicate photos in it.
    Is there any way to fix this?
    Thanks

    I have a similar problem. The folder in my computer has 101 pictures, and 101 pictures show up on my iPhone 4S. The problem is that only about half the pictures transfer and those get duplicated on the phone. I've tried rearranging the pictures on my computer and repeatedly synching.

  • IOS 5 Duplicate Photo Albums

    iOS 5 produces exact duplicate photo albums in my Photos on my iPhone.
    Before syncing photos from my PC I had Camera Roll and Photo Stream.
    In iTunes I configured my iPhone to sync with a folder containing photos, for this example we'll call it FolderX.
    When the iPhone synced with that folder it created TWO albums, one called FolderX and one called Photo Library and they BOTH have the EXACT same photos.
    So now I have Camera Roll, Photo Stream, Photo Library, and FolderX with the last two albums having the precise same number of the exact same photos.
    I do not need this. I do not need two photo albums with the exact same pics. Why on God's green Earth would they make it do this?
    When I click the "edit" button I do not get the option to to do anything to the albums except the FolderX album, and it only has the option to move it, but alas, it really doesn't let you move it even though the button is there.
    I have already deleted all iPhone and iPod photo cache folders and resynced.
    What do I need to do to have only one album on my iPhone with my photos, and not two?

    Yeah this is REALLY frustrating.  It happened to me when I "upgraded" to iOS 5.  I've managed to figure out how to get rid of the duplicate photo albums by making a new folder outside the iPhone folder on my PC which is located in "My Pictures" on my computer.  I moved all the pictures from my actual iPhone to this new backup folder plus copied what was in the iPhone folder on my PC. 
    Once I was sure I had backed up all my pictures taken with my iPhone I deleted everything in the "iPhone" folder on my PC including the iPhone Cache folder.  I synced from the folder "iPhone" which was now empty & it made the duplicate albums disappear. 
    I tried syncing from the backup folder to using iTunes & WHAM duplicate photo albums again!!! All the same pictures but now one had the name "Photo Album" & the other duplicate was named the folder that I synced from.  IRRITATING!!!!
    So I got rid of the duplicate albums by deleting everything in the iPhone folder on my PC & syncing from that folder chosen in iTunes.  It's a drag that I can't load up my pictures to enjoy or share without duplicate albums showing up.  I want to be able to put pictures from my computer to "Camera Roll" which allows me to delete whatever I don't want easily.
    I hate that Apple has made this iCloud thing so duplicate folders show up on my phone without my ability to just delete pictures from those albums or delete the albums easily from my phone.
    FIX FIX FIX it Apple!
    I should also note that I never allowed iCloud services on my iPhone & have NOT downloaded the service to my computer either.  I don't want anything to do with iCloud.
