I make several duplicates of photos in my library.   Why?  How can I avoid this?

How to avoid unintended duplicates in my photo library?   I get several duplicates for many many photos.   They seem to be really duplicates with the same file number.   What is happening as a result of backup?

How to stop - stop the importation of the same photo multiple times

and there is no iCloud backup for Mac - and a backup does not ever duplicate anything - it is just a backup in an emergency

Since you didn't provide any information at all can only guess - pattern the more common to have duplicates uses both MyPhotoStream and iTunes Sync or direct import and import the same photo more than once

To get help, you need to give us information - what OS are you running? What photo software? What are the services iCLoud and what setting for them?

  • When a photo has for example a bright sky beside the dark object, using lights and shadows can cause a 'halo' or double edge to appear. How can I avoid this?

    When a photo for example has a bright sky next to the dark object, using lights and shadows to reduce high contrast can cause a 'halo' or double-edge to appear. How can I avoid this?

    From my experience, this isn't a problem that has a simple solution, such as moving a slider or a combination of the sliders in LR. It requires rather a major change in the technique, at the unit or in office. Some pros (I am not one) tire ALWAYS support HDR or this reason - better transition from highlights to shadows, then tweak the image with much less "heavy" necessary. Another popular technique is the luminosity masking and blending in PS. There is a ton of information on this topic (just do a search on Youtube), but it's not easy to learn or do, but it can eliminate this problem.

  • I want to send an email with a photo attached as a file, how can I do this?

    I just got more confusing experience, is simply trying to send my daughter a copy of the two pictures, I took her puppy on my phone. I downloaded them on the memory card, downloaded on the computer, and all of a sudden, I have three different types of ways to watch my photos and when I opened my account e-mail, first uploaded the photos as they were, then it would not download them as a j. and so the only way I could send to it was by clicking on the email bit in the photo library and emailing like this which uses skydrive, which I don't like, especially with my Government and the American Government spying on people. But why the * they should be interested in puppy of my daughter is b would take me. I feel just violated my life private and improved my right to use my computer, my camera on my phone, I DON'T want to, all why I paid with my hard earned money, and I want to use my email to send my pictures to the format file to my daughter, why should - it so difficult? Next time I'll just text for him and the mobile phone company may have money, as if I did not pay a sufficient amount to my windows, my computer my internet connection and Microsoft all the stuff that is not working properly.

    It seems that the options to always send as an attachment has been removed,

    Now, we have to use Insert and make our choice every time / bad luck,.

    ==============================================
    Unwanted copies have file names with
    copy "prefix of"?

    Example: Copy of IMG_1455.JPG

    If_yes_maybe the following tutorial, I wrote
    for XP offers a few ideas:

    Also... There is a link to another method
    at the end of this tutorial.

    Here's how to reproduce the unwanted
    copy of...

    Hold down your CTRL key and select multiple files...

    Place your pointer over the selected group
    (holding the key ctrl) and left click / drag
    the group even just the slightest bit... now
    release the mouse button.

    Oooops... multiple copies...

    Maybe the following will help:

    Sometimes most of the person who
    trying to select multiple by holding the CTRL
    or the SHIFT key down while clicking on the left to select the
    image files.

    Copies are created when you are unable to
    completely release the mouse button before
    you move the pointer to another file. When a group
    the selected file is dragged... even the slightest
    release the mouse button will produce a bit...
    copies of all the files previously highlighted.

    It's a little easier if you have your folder
    Options set at single click... that way you can
    select/deselect a file with just a mouse more
    and you don't have to click. For multiples you
    I have to keep... CTRL or Shift.

    Do not click on... no slip... no copy... maybe that of
    your solution. To adjust the click...
    Open a folder and go... Tools / folder
    Options / General tab... Check... 'single click '.
    To open an item"/ apply / OK.

    If you want to delete all the files in a folder
    You can try the following:

    Reach... Edition / select all... or type... CTRL / has...

    With all of the files selected... go... Drop / delete...
    or press your delete key... or... click on the
    Group and choose 'delete '.

    How do I find and remove unwanted 'copies '.
    of your image files.

    Open the folder that the images are saved in and
    on the left, click on the button 'Search' in your toolbar.

    (If you view the files from a montage
    program and do not know where the record is... right
    Click on one of the image files and the menu...
    choose... Properties. The path to the folder will be
    in the tab 'General' to 'Place').

    In the research pane select... "All files and folders".

    In the "All or part of the file name" field. Come in...

    a copy of

    Now... on the left, click on the search"" button.

    When the search is complete... go to... Edition / select all...

    Then go to... Remove / delete.

    You will see a dialog box asking if you are sure
    you want to delete the files, click Yes.

    Now... on the left, click on the 'Back' button in your toolbar.

    Now the remaining files should be your originals.

    If you delete the wrong files... recover from
    your basket now.

  • Why have I not lack of photos in the collections. How can I sort this. It's so boring after a number of collections to find a lot of missing pictures when you turn on the computer again.

    Why do I get "missing photos" in the collections of bridge. and how to use them.   so boring after the construction of a few collections to find the photos missing when you restart the computer.

    Aare move you or rename the pictures or folders having a collection? Bridge is a file browser, not an asset manager, so everything you do have an impact on the file names and locations can invalidate the elements stored in a collection.

  • I blocked some photos in facebook by accident, the toddler got click happy. How can I remove this block in some photos?

    I blocked some photos in facebook by accident, the toddler got click happy. How can I remove this block in some photos?

    With Facebook on display, click the button to the site identity (for more details on what is, see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button) and then on more information. This will open the page info dialog box.

    First, select the permissions tab, make sure that 'Load the Images' is set to allow (default selection should work as well)

    Then select the media tab, and then click the first item in the list. Use the down arrow key to scroll the list. If any element has the option 'Images of block of (field name)' selected, deselect the option.

    This should hopefully solve your problem, but see also https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Images+or+animations+do+not+show

    Some add-ons can also block images, for example, if you have AdBlock Plus installed, make sure that you have not accidentally created a filter to block images.

  • iPhone 5 Ios 9.2 my photos off WiFi have tend to be blurry how can I stop this to keep download when I reconnect to WiFi?

    My iphone 5 iOs 9.2 my photos off wifi have tend to be blurry how can I stop this to keep download when I reconnect to wifi?

    Hello Mikecici,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I understand that your photos will look blurry, whenever your iPhone is not connected to the Wi - Fi.  This indicates that you probably iCloud library enabled with the option of storage optimize.  If you have cellular data disabled for Photos, which would prevent photos life-size uploaded without a Wi - Fi.  To learn more about iCloud photo library, please take a look at the information in the link below.

    Can I use iCloud photo library to save space on my device?

    iCloud photo library automatically keeps all of your photos and videos in the original version, in high resolution. Follow these steps to choose how you store your photos and videos on your device:

    • On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, tap Settings > iCloud > pictures or settings > Photos & camera, then select a storage parameter.
    • On your Mac, click on Photos > Preferences > iCloud, and select a storage parameter.

    If you turn on [device] Optimize storage, iCloud photo library manages automatically the size of your library on your device, you can make the most of your device storage and access photos more than ever. All of your original photos, full resolution and the videos are stored in iCloud while unit size versions are stored on your device. You can download original photos and videos over Wi - Fi or cell phone when you need it.

    If you turn on download original, iCloud photo library will keep your original, full resolution photos and videos on iCloud and on your device. Download the originals is the default setting for iOS devices with 5 GB free storage plan and all Mac devices.

    You need an Internet connection to access a photo original or video that is stored only in iCloud.
