One is to add a comment to the photos' "description" field. By default, it does this by comparing the photos' MD5 checksum however, the photos' CRC32, Exif, file name, and photo dimension information can be enabled for comparison as well.Īfter finding duplicates, Duplicate Annihilator can perform a host of actions. Using a host of algorithms, Duplicate Annihilator scans your entire iPhoto library (or selected photos) to detect for duplicates. The end result was a 10GB iPhoto library trimmed down to 6GB. After doing some research, I stumbled upon Brattoo Propaganda's Duplicate Annihilator (link). So, rather than manually sifting through what was, at the time, a 10GB iPhoto library - which would've tested the limits and accuracy of my eyes, as well as taking me through my AARP years to complete - I decided to think different - 'cause that's what us Mac users do.
At first glance, I knew this was going to be a tough job: duplicates were littered throughout my friend's library, and there was no visible pattern to it. While I'm frequently called upon by friends and family to assist in cleaning up their iTunes duplicates, I was recently asked by a friend to help clean up duplicates of a different sort: an iPhoto library.
