I am using a new retina 27" iMac 16gb ram OS X 10.10.1
Aperture 3.6
What is the best way to deal with duplicates that get in Aperture Vaults
I have used Gemini and it finds duplicates, but I have no way of telling if the original are still there.
I don't want to go through 15000 photos to try to find the duplicate.
Thanks Charlie
Not clear what the issue is. Your vault should mirror your library after an update. Since Gemini deals with OS X files, I would assume you are using referenced files and have found some duplicates among those files. These would be the originals. Do you somehow have corresponding (or not) versions in projects? You can run File > Locate Referenced Files on your library to make sure each version references its original. Not sure about the inverse if you find duplicate reference originals but only one version.
My problem is simply that I have to many duplicate pictures, (masters) in my vaults / libraries.
Do you know of any software that would display these duplicates side-by-side, so I could remove the ones I didn't want?
Vaults - Libraries, I just want rid of duplicates / triplicates / etc
You mean - one image in a vault, one in a library? Or duplicates in the same library?
Photo Sweeper can scan several libraries or folders at the same time and display the duplicates side by side to let you pick which to keep. You can define rules to mark photos for automatic deletion as well.
I will check photo sweeper out thanks -- I have duplicates everywhere.
