find suspected duplicates after importation

I have about 11 000 photos to organize.  I created a catalog name and chose to ignore suspected duplicates.  About 8 000 photos have been imported.  This is reasonable since I consolidated the photos from backups of two computers and current readers.

How to find suspected duplicates?  I want to check duplicates and remove all duplicates for free disk space.  How to make the photos were not imported?

Thank you, in advance, for any assistance.

Hi Ken!

Lightroom does a pretty decent job find duplicates during the import, but is not as easily that once the images are in the catalog. Take a look at http://www.lightroom-plugins.com/DupesIndex.php. You can try it for free and see if it will help you.

  • Despite checking the box "don't import suspected duplicates", my Lr4 still re - import hundreds of photos. Anyone know how to avoid this?

    Despite checking the box "don't import suspected duplicates", Lr4 still re - import hundreds of photos of the same exact card, they were imported original. Anyone know what I should do differently next time?

    The problem of duplicate detection is that, as far as I know, Lightroom uses details that it detects on the imported file (looking at the EXIF data and drop stats) and what is already in the catalog. Unless it finds an exact match for all parameters, the file is not a duplicate. From my own experience, if Lightroom decides that a file is a duplicate is almost always correct. However, when missing, it really lacks. I have not read anywhere that Lightroom is built and store a hash number, which would make the process more accurate. I also suspect that the search for duplicates is when you import a series of photos of a place (a card for example) and they are stored in the same folder, all the time. So, if you take a memory card and import all photos to Folder_X and try again later, and reimport the same photos in Folder_X, Lightroom will catch that they are duplicates. But if you import Folder_Y of this same group of photos, Lightroom intercepts not it indicating that the comparison is not large catalog. I'm not sure of how to influence this behavior and it is not anything that you hurt or did not. It's just like that...

  • After importing the photos

    I have several weird questions.  Firstly, my computer unplugged and died in the middle to start editing a series of photos after importing (I import using the option 'Copy').  Once I plugged the computer back in and open to new Lightroom, I got the error message there was a problem displaying my previews.  I tried to restart the program, and that didn't help. I tried restarting the computer and that did not work. Then I checked the forums and people told to remove the preview folder.  I did and Lightroom is finally open.  I tried to re - import the photos that I needed to edit because they are no longer there, but then I get the message "there is no picture to import" even if it's picture still in my computer and the disk, they came.  I don't know why when I imported the photos once, I can't do it a second time to change again.  Help!  I need to edit these photos!

    If Lightroom import them it means that really, they are already in your library. You may need to search for them. Just run a search for filename in the filter in case of «all photographs» bar If you still can't find not just imported with "don't import suspected duplicates" unchecked (in the file tab on the right of handling).

  • Adding files in a catalogue where the catalog suspect duplicates?

    Hello

    I searched for the answer to this but I just have to be bad thinking.

    Last year, I had a hard drive crash and I was restore some of my photos from backup.  In one case, I have a folder in my structure of the catalogue showing a sub-folder.  However, if I look at the hard drive, there are several folders.

    Essentially:

    Catalogue:

    2008

    2008-04-25

    Hard drive:

    2008

    2008-01-25

    2008-01-31

    etc.

    I would have thought 'easy import', right?  Well, the problem is that my catalog shows all the duplicate and existing photos in the catalogue then if I try to import with "don't import suspected duplicates", then I end up with two of each file.

    What is the appropriate way to restore files in the catalog?  Or I just thought the answer to my own question, and I have to import and 'Add' instead of moving or copying?

    Thank you!

    Use a filename from the "problem files" and find it in Lightroom using the text filter, then select file name.

  • Missing Photos after importation of Aperture

    Hello!

    I did just the opening switch to Lightroom and I use version 1.1 of the plugin import Aperture.

    I have in my Aperture library, according to library-> Photos: Photos of 11105, however after import in Lightroom, I only 10967 photos. I checked the import log and there are 4 items that could import - 3 were files .mpo (panoramas of a xPeria) and 1 was a .gif file. That leaves a deficit of 133 photos that I can't explain.

    Is it possible to compare the aperture library to the lightroom library to see what is missing?

    Hope you find your system developed problems.

    I ended up exporting from successful to referenced.  First of all, I collapsed all of my folders nested in a single folder in Aperture, and then exported using a personal file FOLDER/PROJECT format, where the record was of the year, or the YEAR in JAPAN, where I had several nested projects.  Fast forward after the conversion, I then re-nested folder structure.

    After you export all the photos of successful to referenced, I then used all the normal gymnastics in the opening to make sure that all images have been exported and 'online '.  About 15 were not, then I need to resolve these differences, which included duplicate references, mainly.  Once exported, I generated previews.  You're not dealing with previews, so I'll spare you the even longer discussion about how I needed to account for them.  In light of all of the files are external, it is easier to determine which files have not been imported into Lightroom.  I didn't have an anomaly.

    Make sure you don't have duplicate keywords!  I thought I had, but due to the nature of nested keywords, I had a few references duplicated as 'portrait', I had used to mark the initial orientation of the photo, as well as the keyword Aperture stock.  Made a mess of things later.

    Despite the hardships, even in running through the entire library before, I found myself running out of memory AND problems with the GPS.  I ended up using HoudahGeo to create files sidecar with GPS of opening data prior to importation.  After trying everything, I used a dark suggestion to run import on a build of Mac OS X instead of 10.10.3 10.9.4.  That seemed to do the trick.

    A lot of things to clean up afterwards, but I can just leave it as what.  Wish that the faces are exportable now that Lightroom supports the faces, but I won't hold my breath.  Appears opening Adobe plug-in development is concluded.  Tens of thousands of assignments in Aperture.

    Also sad to lose settings, but at least I have the keyword each parameter before exporting.

    Almost all of the work must be done in the opening before the transition.  You watch just how flexible and versatile opening is still today.

    Always curious to know how you will manage your conversion, so please keep posting!

  • iPhoto removes more after importation

    Obviously, Apple are trying to destroy iPhoto and you must use the abomination that is pictures (hideous interface and useless feature - seriously you're hiding a photo and it is still displayed in the photos - what's the point!).

    Anyway, iPhoto is still far superior, but after sierra * update * (is it really an upgrade, which makes it sound as if it was top!), in any case, after the passage at sierra when I plug my idevices in it transfers the pictures, but offers more delete them. So now I have to open iphoto, then unlock the idevice, then transfer the stuff in iphoto, then return to the idevice to remove photos ensuring that they transferred first, then quit iphoto.

    Apple, it's just works *, although probably no where near as simply as any other solution and that if you want to how Apple (trying to get rid of albums of places and/or people who popped in iOS 10!).

    (* Apple defines "works" means that the function may or may not work and may or must not cause a significant waste of time and/or loss of content.)

    Is it possible to transfer/delete functionality works correctly?

    So now I have to open iphoto, then unlock the idevice, then transfer the stuff in iphoto, then return to the idevice to remove photos ensuring that they transferred first, then quit iphoto.

    You can launch the Image Capture.app and import the photos in a folder in the Finder and then import this file into iPhoto.  If you use the transfer of images, you can always remove distributed after importation.

    But in fact, it is not recommended to remove the pictures from the camera before convince you yourself, that the imported photos have been transferred without transmission mistakes and make the first backup. I've seen quite a few posts here, where iPhoto crashed during importation or imported photos have been corrupt and if that happens, you will not be able to resume the transfer, if you let iPhoto delete photos immediately.

    The way you describe it is best practices, and how you should be important, even if the delete after import option was still available.

  • What is happening in the original file of the photo when I import it in Photos and I have the "Delete after import" box checked?

    What is happening in the original file of the photo when I import it in Photos and I have the "Delete after import" box checked?

    When organizing photos for Photos for Mac app, I find that the Photos makes "copies" of files within the library of Photos and must reference a file if your settings are such that you do not copy the original files in the Photos app.

    Trying to manage the disk space for the Macbook Pro.

    The delete after import is available only when you import a device - a camera, card, an iPhone, but not when you import files from a folder on the system drive.

    You can delete the local image files of your system drive yourself, once you have imported the Photos and they were copied in the photo library.

    I would never use the option "delete after Import. The files will be deleted until you can check if the files have been imported correctly. If you find out later, that some of the imported files are corupted and illegible, it will be repeated o toolate import, because the files have been deleted from the device. Or worse, if pictures should plant a reason any during the import, all the pictures will be lost, if you have enabled "delete after import.

  • Deleting photos on an iPhone 6 after importing Photos

    I used 6 (iOS 9.2.1) photos to import photos from my iPhone but can't seem to delete them from my phone because I'm running out of space. I can't find an option in Photos for me to do. I use iCloud library but tired of receiving messages telling me I am out of space and need to buy more. I was using the iPhone Optimize Storage option, so when I try to turn off iCloud, he tells me I'm losing photos. I guess that it space to store all of the photos uploaded to iCloud original is much more than the space I have left on my phone. So why would I back up my photos to a photo library. Yes, I could go through frame by frame making sure that they are all there, but there are more than 2500 and would prefer to delete automatically the picures copied after importation. Make sense?

    Import Photos Panel has a check "Remove items after importing" below the toolbar. If you enable this, before importing items, they will be automatically deleted.

    You don't see this check box, because you have activated on your iPhone photo library iCloud.  As long as you use iCloud photo library, the Mac cannot delete the photos, because they are stored in iCloud and only mirrored on your iPhone.

    "Remove items after importation" is to risk anyway. I would not use this option. First, it is safer to check if the import was successful before deleting the photos from the iPhone.  Sometimes it happens that photos will be removed from the device, even if the import was not successful.

    So why would I back up my photos to a photo library. Yes, I could go through frame by frame making sure that they are all there, but there are more than 2500 and would prefer to delete automatically the picures copied after importation. Make sense?

    Since all the pictures are in the library of iCloud, download them by creating a new library of Photos on your Mac and enable it in your library to iCloud.  It will download all photos in iCloud.

    You are you sure, that all the photos are safely on your Mac, disable iCloud photo library on your iPhone.  Then you can connect the iPhone to a USB port and use Image Capture to remove all the photos from the iPhone.

    You can also download pictures from iCloud by using the web interface of your iCloud to www.icloud.com account.  Launch the Photos.app on this page and select the photos to download.

  • Remove photos from the iphone after import

    Hi, I'm new on this but I can't find an answer by reading the previous posts.

    I always was able to import my photos and click the button "erase after importing" and my photos would be removed from my phone, but recently it tells me there is an error during this operation and the pictures are still on my phone using a lot of memory. Anyone know why this feature no longer works? I'm really not what although it is complicated with my pc, everything is usually automatically when I plug in my phone. Can someone give advice?

    Thank you

    You have iCloud library enabled on the iPhone? (in settings > iCloud > Photos & camera)?

    So you can't delete photos from the iPhone, because they are actually stored in iCloud and only in reverse on the iPhone.

    Disable the iCloud photo library, if you want to download the pictures manually by USB.  But be sure, that optimize storage is disabled and all the pictures were downloaded again icloud before disabling iCloud photo library.

  • Images of the iPhone was deleted after import from AutoPlay.

    I used autoplay to import my iphone 4S photos, by selecting "delete after import.

    I left my computer to transfer 300 photos, when I got home that the system had gone to sleep. When I rebooted the AutoPlay dialog box cmoputer had disappeared, and when I have itunes automatically re-synchronized my iphone all photos have disappeared, but importation did not and I can not find the pictures.

    OT: iPhone images deleted after import autoplay, but the images never imported and now lost my phone!

    Insofar as synced my phone I can not restore all the photos from my iPhone backup - is it possible to recover these photos of the automatic reading process? Why did they would be removed if the import has failed? I tested autoplay import again and the test photo is the only one in my photo folder. Thank you very much.

    Hello

    Method 1
    I suggest you try the search for photos using either the name of the image and see if that helps.

    Find a file or folder
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/find-a-file-or-folder

    Method 2
    I suggest you try the steps from the following link:

    Recover lost or deleted files

    Also check if the photos has been removed and are in the trash.

  • LR Mobile: How ot delete pictures after import / cloud storage questions

    I use the subscription of creative photography of cloud on my Mac, the iPhone and the iPad. Associated with photoshop Lightroom Mobile, I have a few questions:

    1. News photos are imported successfully to LR Mobile right after that I opened the application Mobile from LR.
      1. Is it possible to import pictures for the moment when they are taken, or what I have to consciously open the request to get imported and synchronized later to the cloud?
      2. After importation, the pictures remain in the iPhone photo library. Y at - it an option to automatically remove photos from there?
    2. Probably my mistake, but I couldn't find any information on the amount of cloud storage that is available for the Lightroom / Mobile sync. For subscriptions other than mine, an amount of 20 GB "cloud storage" is mentioned, but nothing about the type of photography only. Could you point me to an official document that describes these conditions?

    1.1. No, you need to open MRL

    1.2. No, Apple let LrM delete iPhone library. So yes, it is a pain, and you have to remember to do it yourself.

    As far as I know, there is not a limit for the part LrMobile of this plan, that's why you can't find not documented. I thought that there was a limit of 2 GB of storage other than MLA cloud.
