How do I scan for and delete duplicates of my Photos? My Photo collection has about 40,000 photos taking up 140 GB of storage? I have tried Gemini 2, but don't understand how to scan anything except my ENTIRE photo list.

The simplest way, provided you're running Mojave or Catalina, is to buy ($30) the paid version of PowerPhotos. It will identify duplicates, including across Libraries, but leave the deletion to your choice after listing them and suggesting which might be the one(s) to keep. It's very powerful, flexible and easy to use.
