    BRATTOO PROPAGANDA SOFTWARE  There are several freeware and commercial utilities such as the suggested Image Comparitor that locates duplicate files in the filesystem. However, when locating duplicates in iPhoto it is not sufficient to remove the files since the iPhoto library data base will then be corrupted since it points to image files that does no longer exists in the iPhoto library package.

    Therefor, a word of advice: Messing with the files in the iPhoto library package or folder may cause a corrupt iPhoto library database and or loss of data. Therefor, be careful when attempting to use a generic duplicate detection tool when hunting for duplicates in iPhoto.

    Duplicate Annihilator is not a generic duplicate detection tool but a tool designed especially for iPhoto and only Apples own API's and recommended methods when manipulating the iPhoto library and the images.

    D~  I tried the demo, realized it worked great for the 500 photos that it will search... but I had just under 6000 photos to search so i purchased the program. There are still a few dupes left, but worth the 8 bucks to buy.

    MSADESIGN  Does anybody know how to contact the developer? I bought the software, used it once and it worked but need to run it again, and I get an applescript error. There is no way to contact the developer.

    Thanks!

    MSADESIGN  I was contacted by Anders, the developer, and we are working this issue. I'll post the final results but I expect it will be resolved quickly.

    I should point out that the issue is variable- sometimes it is there and sometimes it is not, so there will be some time in pinning down what is happening exactly.

    ANONYMOUS  I ran this but instead of finding duplicates I had (which I have in there, I've seen them), it moved all my recent movie clips to the trash (I had "move duplicates to iphoto trash" checked), which were not duplicates. And the duplicate photos remained. I would pay for something like this if it worked; I was very disappointed.
