Photo Sweeper is amazing for getting rid of duplicates, what other software for duplicates do you love?

@GrantCrowell Жыл бұрын

I have Gemini II for iOS. Photo Sweeper seems to be a great solution for desktop, so I've just purchased it. Thank you, Amanda!

I've had Gemini since Gemini 1 and I've found it invaluable for hunting down dups and sorting through years of backups on different hard drives. I've also had PhotoSweeper for some time but have never really got into it. I've still some dups in my Photos library (423Gb and growing) but I am cautious on unleashing either of these products on the Library. Say I have a dup in my Photos library, dup A is in one folder in one album and dup B is in another folder in another album. What I want to do isn't delet the dup, I want to merge them so that the remaining image is both folders and albums. I'm not sure either of these third party products will do that and having spent a long, long time organising my Library I'm not inclined to just have a go 🫣 Photos has its own dup tab, why not use that to merge the dups in the Libary?

Took a bit to configure but their tech support answered within 25 minutes with step by step instructions which made it much simpler to use. 5 stars

ty ty ty for adding the explanation of side by side! i bought a class on org photos which uses this prog but i have the issue of mult hard drives w many dup folders of dup photos. tried it 2 ways neither seemed doable - no practical way to get thru 400k photos resulting in 30k groups. i was not abt to go thru that many groups :( but the side by side option w "lock" gives me hope. the person who made the class did not cover that option. thanks so much!!

You are very welcome! I use side-by-side like that all the time, it is so useful! Happy Sorting! 😁

@robbristow Жыл бұрын

Very clear understanding of the processes you show. My query is:- Can the comparison be done across a whole hard drive, with multiple folders and subfolders, in one pass?

@amandalittlecott Жыл бұрын

Most definitely YES! Just plug in your drive and when you pick the folder to review pick the highest level and then it will scan everything. Then in the automarking settings, you can then get even fancier by asking it to mark the file in the highest or lowest folder in the hierarchy! So many options! 😁

Thanks for this very useful intro. I have photos on both Windows and Mac. Is there a similar product on Windows that de-dups on similar as opposed to exact images that you would recommend? Or better yet, is there a product that runs on both which can de-dup based on similar but not exact images?

@amandalittlecott 5 ай бұрын

There isn't a product that would run on both, but for Windows, there is my absolute favourite deduplication programme is Duplicate Cleaner Pro 5, check it out here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/epd9pJuD1s7XaY0.html 😁

Thanks for your sharing. I'd like to know can it run and remove photo files in NAS (Synology, unRAID, QNAP v.v..).

@amandalittlecott Жыл бұрын

Yes totally that is what I run all my scans on, depending on how you connect to your NAS if you use a Wifi loop it might be a tiny bit slower than a direct wire connection, but nothing that has stopped me from using it!😁

Can you use PhotoSweeper also in the Photos library (on Mac)?

@amandalittlecott 2 ай бұрын

Absolutely, just drag and drop or select the Photo Library in the single list mods. It won't delete the photos, but put them in an album in you Apple Photos Library that you can then go and delete. Simple 😊

@nettie-615 2 жыл бұрын

Hi , I have been using sweeper for years? Now! But It keeps on saying ! Can delete apple photos in photos? How do I clear the marked photos? Please help

@amandalittlecott 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Nettie, that is annoying, just to check are you're using Photo Sweeper on your Apple Photos Catalogue on your Mac computer? If that is the case it should pop all the photos in a to delete album in your Apple Photos Catalogue. If that is not the case let me know a bit more and I am sure we can sort it out!! 😁

Does this work on video's as well? Thank you

@amandalittlecott 7 ай бұрын

Yes it does work on videos, it is not perfect though. If you happen to have a PC then Duplicate Cleaner Pro is much better for videos but for PC only. Check it out here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/epd9pJuD1s7XaY0.html 😁

Hey Amanda, After I cleared out my recently deleted I went back to my photo library and my duplicate photos were still in my library. I followed every step the app gave me, what am I doing wrong?

@amandalittlecott 7 ай бұрын

If you are asking it to look at your Apple Photos library you need to find the Photosweeper album that it has created, go in there and delete the photos from there. It doesn't have the ability to delete them from in your Apple Photos Library just pop them in a handy album for you! 😁
