Q: consolidating, checking & eliminating duplicate photos & movies
I was recently at a client's house, and I go back in a few days. I am trying to consolidate photos for a client. They have photos across many devices.
- iMac with a 500 GB drive, 2 partitions (one was 'Image', as I recall), running El Capitan
- MacBook Pro, with a 250 GB drive I think..., also running El Capitan
- iPad II
- 2 iPhone 6s (6 plural, not '6S'!)
- several external hard drives, around 8 T total, which probably have photos that are already on some of the devices and machines above
I'm more of a PC/Linux guy, and looking at the photos folder on the iMac, it seems the photos are 'encapsulated' in one file, unlike the 'loose' jpgs I usually see on a PC/Linux.
How does one consolidate, check and eliminate duplicates from all those devices, which probably stem from different versions of Photo/iPhoto?
