duplicate photos under different names

Is there different name a sequential name?

For duplicate images with different file names and/or creation dates use PhotoSweeper. It compares bitmaps and/or histograms so it can detect duplicate images even if they have different file sizes, file names, image sizes and capture dates.

It costs $9.99 and a demo version is available. 

This situation is because, like many digital cameras, your camera will shoot a Raw image in tandem with a jpeg (or jpg) image.

You would be well advised to keep both images as Raw images contain all the image data that was recorded by your camera.

All 3 of my Nikons do the same thing, and that's just how I like it.

If you really want to ONLY record in jpeg format, go to page 42 of your instruction manual and follow the instructions. This is all done via the function button.

Something to take note of is this:

Notes:

• DNG files captured as a trim section always contain the full

28mm image field regardless of the settings, additional

information in the data set ensure that the selected trim section

is depicted. JPEG files on the other hand, contain only the

respective trim section.

As a result, with DNG files trimming selections can be reversed

afterwards while editing the photo, but this is not possible with

JPEG files.

Your camera is shooting a raw (DNG) file in tandem with a jpeg file. To change your picture taking choices, follow the instructions on page 42. Be aware that if you select jpeg only, you will lose the quality of photo that DNG offers.

This is page 42 of your manual:

thank you but i have deleted the images from my camera, and I still have the duplicated into Photos application.

Is there a tool or software can check these duplicate then give me result to delete them pls

Which version do you want to keep? The DNG file or the JPEG version?

If you really had been shooting RAW+JPEG pairs, you should be seeing them in Photos stacked, as just two files, with a "J" badge or "R" badge in the corner.

If you enable "View > Metadata > File Type", are you seeing badges like shown here?

If the photos have not been imported as pairs and you are not seeing the badges, you can separate two kinds of image files with a smart album.

Try to search for the filename extension with a smart album:

File > New smart album:

• Set the the rule to "Photo is RAW" to finde the RAW images.
• Create a second album with the rule "Photo is not RAW" to find the JPEGs.

You can refine the rules by adding a rule with "Match all" and "Date is in the Range ....".

You can see one picture and the next one is identical but has different name.

If you do not like to post a screenshot of the photos for privacy reasons, can you please post the filenames (including the filename extension) for two "duplicate" pictures. You will see the filenames in Info.

• Select a photo, then open the Info by clicking the (i) button in the toolbar or use the key combination ⌘i. You will find the filename in the second line of the Info. Also tell us the details in the third line (the date and time, including the seconds) and the sixth line with the resolution information, for example:
  • Second Line: P1140009.RW2
  • 13:10:37
  • Sixth line: 4000x3000, 14.9 MB, JPG

Please do the same for the second photo of the duplicate pair, so we can compare the file attributes and resolution. Are the two photos looking exactly the same or are there some slight differences of the exposure or color or contrast?

You may also be seeing differences in the seventh line, for example different exposure values like "-1 ev" for an underexposed image. Many of the duplicates in my library are exposure brackets, taken in quick succession for HDR fusion.

I am asking these questions, so we can be sure, you are picking the best photo of the duplicate pairs as the keepers and not keeping a low resolution preview or an overexposed or underexposed additional image. It would really help to find out what kind of duplicates you are having, so you know how to recognize the photos you need to keep and which are redundant, and how to change the settings in your camera to avoid this problem in future.

The only difference will be the 3 letters at the end. 1 photo set will hanve .DNG at the end, the second set will have .jpeg or .jpeg at the end. DNG is the raw file, jpeg is a compressed file. The jpeg file will not contain as much data as the raw file, and will have a lower Mb number.

I would advise keeping the raw (.DNG file) and deleting the .jpeg file. Could you please send me an example of one pair of numbers, i.e. same number but 1 as a DNG number and 1 as a jpeg/jpg number. I don't need to see the photo. Do you know how to take a screenshot on your MacBook Pro?

As you will see in my example, both shots are identical, but the top one is a raw file, the bottom one is a jpg file. I keep them in 2 separate folders for my own reasons. I would like you to send me a similar example.

Those aren't duplicates. You're shooting both RAW and jpeg at the same time. Either set your camera to shoot one of the other and you'll not have the two images.

When you download photos to your MacBook, even from the Leica Q, do you download directly from the camera, or do you take the card out of your camera and place it into a slot in the Macbook or a card reader?

Either way, an icon should appear on your screen in the shape of a memory card. Opening that icon will open all files into a page identical to a Finder page. In one column you should find all of your original photo file numbers in numerical order, and should show the jpg number first and below that, its dng partner.

From there, it's simple to remove/delete 1 complete set of numbers by clicking on one number, then keeping your finger on the Cmd key and selecting all the shots that that you want to delete. They will go straight to your Trash. Don't empty your trash straight away, so that if you click a wrong number, you can retrieve it from the trash.

So far, you haven't shown us a screenshot that illustrates your problem.

If you have the duplicated shots in Photos, you can delete unwanted photos using the same technique as explained above. When you have selected all of the duplicates that you want to delete, prsee the delete key and a dropdown will appear asking you if you want to delete those photos.

When you press 'Yes', they will all be deleted, but they won't go to trash. They will be gone forever, so it's better to delete BEFORE you send them to Photos.

You've deleted the photos from your camera, so why would you want to delete them from Photos?. They are a record of your trip.

Are the photos in Photo app also duplicates of copies you have elsewhere? I keep all mine on an external hard drive.

If the photos in the PHOTOS app are the only copies you have, and you have deleted from the camera, it doesn't make sense to destroy the only copy you have. Can you take a screen shot of the photos in photos app? I would like to see what you have in the photos app.
