Find and delete duplicates in your iPhoto library
If you still use iPhoto to manage photos on your Mac, then you know how quickly it can become filled with duplicates. This usually happens when your library starts to grow, you lose track of the pictures you've imported and import them again.
Duplicate images not only make your iPhoto library disorganized, but they also slow down your Mac because they take up valuable disk space. That's why you should delete duplicate photos from iPhoto on a regular basis. You can either spend hours examining every single image in your iPhoto library, or you can download Easy Duplicate Finder and let it do all the hard work.
Easy Duplicate Finder will help you delete duplicate files from iPhoto without you having to look for duplicate images all over your drive. It will scan your iPhoto library for duplicates and display them as an easy-to-manage list. You can then preview the photos and delete the duplicates you don't need both from iPhoto and the folders they are located in.
One of the best pieces of software to find duplicates in your iPhoto or Photos library is called Photosweeper. This $10 app on the Mac App Store has a trial version as well. This software currently works with Apple’s Photos, Aperture, Adobe Lightroom, and iPhoto. If you take lots of photos and never really get around to cleaning your camera roll Duplicate Finder is an iOS app that you need. It’s worth $0.99 in the App Store and it can find both duplicate and similar photos in your camera roll. Open Duplicate Finder and tap the ‘Find Duplicates’ button at the bottom of the app’s home screen.
To scan your iPhoto library, select the iPhoto Scan mode and run the scan. When the scan is finished, review the results, select the photos you'd like to delete and delete the duplicates in one click.
