Any item not shown in the curated view is a candidate for a potential duplicate or a boring photo. We can try to use the curated view without duplicates as a starting point to look for duplicates. About the Duplicate Detection in Photos 5 - Apple Community There is no way to this to get rid of them. ![]() The duplicate detection is only used to hide the duplicates from the view, so we do not longer see them, but they are still there and are taking up storage. Photos 5 on Catalina is spending a lot of time with duplicate detection, but currently it is implemented in a somewhat disappointing way. Which version of macOS X and Photos are you currently using? When you share the same photo again, it will be added to the album again, because the version in the shared album is different from the photo you want to share again. When you share a photo to a smart album, Photos will create a downsized copy of the photo for the smart album, strip many metadata from the photo and rename it, then upload it to the smart album. Shared albums are shown in your Photos Library for convenience, but are not apart of the library. I'm sure secretly, in the apple backend, you are running a dedup so you only store these duplicates once, but are still able to charge twice - my thoughts anyways. The year is 2020, we are finally able to compare file-size, file-name, and even date/time a picture/video was taken, we also have the ability to compare an actual picture with another to find a % of potential match - why is a company so advanced such as apple not allowing the most simple features? is it because you can charge more for cloud storage when everyone is paying for duplicates? ![]() Question 2: Is there a way to detect/delete duplicates in the entire photo collection (yes i also have the tendency to download duplicate family photos from the internet, and now i have multiples) PowerPhotos also makes it easy to track down duplicate images and can even merge libraries together. Side note: default sort is by date, but its not accurate, i still find 2 photos which are the exact same divided by 10 other photos in the middle. You can store photo libraries on external or networked drives and copy photos while maintaining and preserving albums, edits, and related metadata like keywords, titles, dates, locations, and descriptions. Questions 1: is there an easy way to detect/delete duplicate photos or videos in shared albums? or even list by filename or date so i can do it manually? I have many shared albums with my wife, where we add picture of our son - since i never know which the last picture i uploaded was (or if i missed any in the middle) i always select an overlap of photos when adding to the album, thinking apples software is smart enough to say "picture already exists, i'll skip this one" this does not appear to be the case.
