Delete duplicates in aperture.

[Andy Greenow]

Hi,

I have googled this and its not coming up with what I'm looking for.

Basically I have re-imported all my photos into a new aperture database because currently all my photos are just messed up.

However, I'm getting about 3 copies of each photo importing. Meaning I have around 75,000 photos to go through..

Any easy way of automatically deleting duplicates of images?

I'm pretty-sure there's a setting not to import duplicates, not sure how effective it is. I saw it last time I set things up, but didn't finish doing my imports on that system as my external drive got corrupted.

I haven't used it, but what about Duplicate Annihilator - Aperture Edition?

I used Gemini 2 (found on the app store): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/gemini-the-duplicate-finder/id463541543?mt=12

But was mostly using it with iPhoto libraries where I'd added duplicates over the years.

It's hard enough to sort through a session of photos to note the bad photos and remove, then topping that with duplicates over the years. it is a headache.

I have it. Works just ok..missed a few. The one I use and rely on is PhotoSweeper. It is in the Apple Store.
