![]() ![]() I've just finished reviewing the same software solutions and purchased PhotoSweeper too. It may not apply to you but is just a tip in case one day it may. Having found files with extensions of copies xxxx.jpeg (1) for example, but not the originals, I could easily batch rename the extensions using the various rule sets provided back to xxxx.jpeg. I just wished I had this available at the time that I dissected my HD for remnants within my managed iPhoto and Aperture library.Ī bit OT but what did save time in my particular case was 'a better finder rename'. Gemini did this also (albeit without a histogram) but one had to switch between 'found' duplicates to do so. PhotoSweeper also seems to provide much more metadata. ![]() Another thing I didn't like about Snapselect (yes yes it's free) is that it wouldn't release the cache from a search until another was initiated. Just the usual popular Aperture, Lightroom, iphoto and Photos apps.Įither way think I m now set with the topic dublicates and have to figure out a workflow with CP1 and my referenced hierarchical folder. Yup, it appears you are correct that no duplicate finder interfaces with CP1. I still have the 'feeling' that some duplicates still exist though, as my initial brief manual viewing revealed copies of raw & jpegs that I'm sure I didn't delete with the programs thus far. Actually, it searched quickly and appears to be custimisable more than Gemini and Snapselect, including "search for identical files". My reasoning was that if two SW products couldn't 100% locate all duplicates, hat-off to the one that found the last remaining with its algorithms. PhotoSweeper found "a handful more" and I purchased it. The interface, preference option and speed left quite a bit to be desired for BUT it was free. ![]() Tried Snapselect (and it did find some more duplicates). MacPaw did email me back with the response that the product compares file content, without capability to take dublicate file names into account. Gemini has been great, given its purpose. Both are good at finding photo duplicates and dealing with them effectively, since they're built for photographers, unlike Gemini.Īnd they can send info to Lightroom, but I dunno about Capture1. Try Snapselect (free for now) or PhotoSweeper ($10US I think). Is there a way to do this without purchasing another duplicate finder, perhaps by using Finder or Automator? The aim is to hunt down the duplicates and delete the jpg. Gemini has been great but cannot seem to help me further. Ideally I would like to be able to search for the duplicates just by the numerical file number for this once-off use. Have written to them asking the question but as yet have no reply. Gemini appears to view raw and jpg extensions as different files (fair enough) and preferences within the App contain mostly only search exclusion lists. I have however come across some duplicates that exist as the original raw and jpg version (albeit with different dates), meaning that finding them manually would be laborious at best. Using a registered copy of Gemini I was able to delete multiple files strewn across the HD. No hacking nor tampering with iPhoto system files.Īvailable in English, German, French, Italian and Swedish.I am at the end stages of having constructed a hierarchical folder based on year/month/day for all my photos, to be used as a referenced library for CP1. Only uses standard Apple features and API's. Delete duplicates upon detection or mark them with a keyword to make them easily found using iPhoto features like search or smart folders.Detect duplicates by using file specific meta data such as filename, dimensions, filesize, Exif creation date or date of creation.Detect duplicates using effective algorithms using electronic checksums like MD5.Compare images using different algorithms to detect and understand differences.Easily find and annihilate duplicates created internally by iPhoto or during import.Run through a few times first checking my filename, then maybe dimensions, creation date, etc. ![]() The similar part is a bit harder as the criteria for similar could be many things. I am not exactly sure it will find your #2 and #3 right out of the gate, but since photos are marked with unique timestamps and other meta data, it should find them even if rotated. For what you need you might need a few passes to get the obvious dups, then find the harder to get ones. You can download and do a run and hopefully get rid and clean your folders the first time through. The best that I could find and have used is Duplicate Annihilator, which works with iPhoto, and is upgraded for 10.8. ![]()
