Step 10: Once you’re confident either the app or you have selected the right duplicate photos to remove, click on “Move to iPhoto Trash,” then confirm. Again, you are also free to manually select each photo you want to save in each group, but it can be a bit tedious if you have hundreds of duplicates to check. Step 9: In this case, I will select all photos, except that last one in each group. To do so, click on the menu button, as seen below. In this example, I want to delete the first photo of each group. Or else, you can double check or change which of the duplicates to delete. At that point, you can click on “Move to iPhoto Trash” if you trust the app did a good job. Each duplicate is put in a group, and for each group, Duplicate Cleaner selects one photo that it will be deleting. Step 8: On the left hand side, you’ll see a list of duplicates.

As you can see below, the app found 304 duplicates amounting for about 4 GB of storage space. Step 7: Once done, Duplicate Cleaner will confirm how many duplicates it has found and how much storage is estimated to be saved if you delete these duplicates. Depending on the size of your iPhoto library, this could take a few minutes. Step 6: Duplicate Finder will now be scanning your library for duplicates. Step 5: As prompted, select the iPhoto Library, then click on Select Library to Scan Duplicates. Step 4: A pop up will appear on your screen prompting you to click Next and select iPhoto Library to begin scanning. Step 3: In Duplicate Finder, click Scan iPhoto Duplicates. Once this is done, launch Duplicate Cleaner. If you have Photostream enabled, go to iPhoto > Preferences > iCloud, and make sure My Photo Stream is unchecked.

Step 1: Download Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto from the Mac App Store (currently free).

How to remove duplicates pictures in iPhoto In this post, I will show you how to use Duplicate Cleaner to find and delete duplicate photos in iPhoto. The Mac App Store has plenty of such apps available, but I personally use Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto. Strangely enough, iPhoto doesn’t have a feature that lets you find and delete duplicates, so you have to download a third party application to do this. The only way to get to perfection is to delete those duplicate photos in your iPhoto library. You could just let it go and forget all about it – after all it’s just a few duplicate photos – but if you’re anything like me, you just want your iPhoto library to be perfect. Duplicate photos always seem to find a way to creep into your iPhoto library, eating up precious storage space on your Mac.
