Title: Duplicate photo finder Post by: RED-DOG on January 25, 2015, 08:47:15 PM Any recommendations?
Can anyone link me to a safe download? Title: Re: Duplicate photo finder Post by: Claw75 on January 25, 2015, 08:48:13 PM would Google images not do the job without the need to download anything?
Title: Re: Duplicate photo finder Post by: RED-DOG on January 25, 2015, 09:04:21 PM would Google images not do the job without the need to download anything? It would be great if it would. I have thousands of photographs on my laptop. Most are in unnamed and in random folders. Many have been duplicated for some reason or other, i.e. re-sizing copying to other folders etc. How do I get Google images to find the duplicated ones for me? Title: Re: Duplicate photo finder Post by: Claw75 on January 25, 2015, 09:07:37 PM ah I see - I was thinking along the lines of wanting to find duplicates of photos on the internet. don't have a clue for what you want I'm afraid :(

Or you could try Mrs Red's method and write a description of every picture on reams and of paper. Title: Re: Duplicate photo finder Post by: Graham C on January 25, 2015, 09:52:52 PM I've not really looked into how it works, but you may be able to use Picasa (from Google) to do this and here's a help page on it https://support.google.com/picasa/answer/11484?hl=en-GB
If your folders really are a mess you could also create a new Photos folder, do a search for every photo on your hard drive (something like *.jpeg in the search box) and copy and paste them all into one place, then use Picasa to remove the duplicates. It may not be a good idea for thousands but it's an option. Title: Re: Duplicate photo finder Post by: The_nun on January 25, 2015, 09:53:22 PM Spent most of today looking for some pictures I seem to have lost on the laptop, but I noticed I have duplicate on duplicates of others.
