How to find & delete duplicate photos in photo app

iPhoto would automatically find duplicate photos but how does photo app on MacBook Pro? I have loads of duplicates so obviously photo app isn't helping automatically, extremely disappointing.

I've read some apps can help but turns out they can make more trouble than keeping duplicates.

Is Apple ever going to address this? This is seriously a problem for many if googled. I have approximately 7,000 photos and would expect photo app to be superior than iPhoto (as it was Apple's "upgrade") but appears to me and many, it is certainly not.

Can anyone help?

What exactly is your question?

Exactly why would you want to ignore the RAW/JPEG pairs - if you have multiple copies of the RAW or the original JEG you still want to handle them
