If you have duplicate pictures Photos could not recognize them as duplicates, because the original files are different in some way, Photos can not detect them. Duplicate versions don't require storage space. It is so unlikely, that you have an exact replica of the original images in your photo library, you can have versions however duplicate of the same photo, if you he duplicated before edit. on these occasions photos is searching for duplicate photos and store the originals in doubles only once. Photos will find them for you, when you migrate iPhoto library to Photos, or when you import pictures, or transfer the pictures to iCloud photo library. In general - but it is not always perfect There are probably a lot of duplicate photos, then we are interested in to find them and delete multiple copies of the same photo. I am about to help a friend import a large collection of photos (some from iPhoto, others in random places) in a library of Photos on his brand new iMac. Photos will detect when import duplicate photos?

It may well be down to the metadata that are attached to the photo, sometimes when the photos app is updated as a result of a software update, sure it can create a copy of a photo with the new dates.Īny photo that is removed from a place is removed everywhere if you use iCloud photo library.

There could be a few reasons for duplicates. The second copy will remain in the two views? What can be done to stop this duplication of behavior? Also if I want to delete a duplicate in iCloud will remove it without removing the second copy. They appear sometimes for Moments and sometimes mode Albums and sometimes in both views I think. I'm viewing Photos to iCloud and sometimes to find duplicate photos.
