Sorting & deleting duplicate photos lightroom
How do I sort duplicate photos so they can be deleted in Lightroom 3
There's a Duplicat Finder PlugIn, which is supposed to support you in doing so (I have no experience with it myself).

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 PhilThere 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)

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 -

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...duplicate annihilator - http://www.brattoo.com/propaganda/
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

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 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.
Regards

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
PhotoSweeper: http://overmacs.com/photosweeper.html -

Organizing and deleting Duplicate Photos in iPhoto library?
Can I easily organize and delete duplicate photos in my iPhoto library?
These applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
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 the library.
DeCloner - $19.95 - can find duplicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
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
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 there are only twp apps that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates: PhotoSweeper and Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto. 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. -

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
