They you can search them and bin them. Pretty straight forward. It has many options but the default worked fine for me.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is that the thumbnails can be duplicated too, and even if they have another program for that, if you start iPhoto holding Command Key+Option, then you have the option of\u00a0rebuilding\u00a0thumbnails.<a href=\"https:\/\/cloud.norai.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/cache-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4843\" title=\"cache\" src=\"https:\/\/cloud.norai.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/cache-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"201\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The features of the Duplicate Annihilator are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Easily find and annihilate duplicates created internally by iPhoto or during import.<\/li>\n<li>Compare images using different algorithms to detect and understand differences.<\/li>\n<li>Detect duplicates using effective algorithms using electronic checksums like MD5 and CRC32.<\/li>\n<li>Detect duplicates by using file specific meta data such as filename, dimensions, filesize, Exif creation date or date of creation.<\/li>\n<li>Delete duplicates upon detection or mark them with a keyword to make them easily found using iPhoto features like search or smart folders.<\/li>\n<li>Makes your iPhoto slimmer and faster.<\/li>\n<li>Only uses standard Apple features and API&#8217;s.
