Dec 11, 2012 9:55 AM in response to Terence Devlinby FrankPerras,No. I don't use Aperture yet. I have used Picasa, but recall I stopped before this issue came up. The dups are all in the same event too.

If by external import try using the free application iPhoto Duplicate Cleaner. I found it works very well.

Based on reports I would recommend against usint it

Jan 28, 2013 8:52 AM in response to LarryHNby jstmeee,I've never had problems with PhotoSweeper. Maybe there were some issues in past, but now it works fine. Also I read many positive reviews from users, and "Based on reports" I would recomend it everyone who want to remove duplicate photos from their libraries.
I'd suggest you to test PhotoSweeper before suggesting not to use it. There is a demo version of this app.
