I am now looking for a way to sent these files back to the original location and reverse the entire trash process. When opening LR, I can see these marked for deletion files inside this folder: Trash (PhotoSweeper). While testing the duplicate detection inside of my entire 4GB Lightroom Catalog, I mistakenly marked several files for deletion, but now I decided that I want to keep them. Too bad, but I can live with it for now, since 99% of my cleaning involves uncompressed files for now. So I found the reason why RAF Fuji files are not rendering correctly in PS X.įuji has 2 Raw File in-camera saving options:įile size is about 50MB for uncompressed and 25MB compressed.Īll uncompressed files are showing correctly, but PS X does not render the compressed files. On removal, PhotoSweeper doesn‘t delete files, but marks them as “Rejected” and puts to a special collection." Perfect cull machine for those of us locked down.thanks for reminding me of it. It's actively supported, and works up to Catalina and Lr 9.2. It's in the App Store, and even has a demo. In Lr, what that means is that upon re-opening Lr (note all the database sources of images like Lr, Photos, Aperture have to be closed in order for Photo Sweeper to work) they are placed into a "Photo Sweeper Trash" collection, and flagged as "Rejected." And have different views and so on.įourth, at the end you mark the ones you want to remove. Third, you can see all the exif and other info as you browse and compare. The auto mark function can make use of most all the exit and IPTC info to do comparisons for marking, which is great if you know what you want to constitute as a dupe to delete. And use stuff like size, aspect ratio, etc. So you can extract duplicates, similar photos, or series of shots. Photo Sweeper makes it easier to do that since it's oriented to how most photographers work. And in any case, as long as you're doing it, might as well cull. Sometimes you're not looking for just the exact copy of the image, but very very very similar images. There are brackets, panorama groups, pairs, etc. There isn't really any simple or auto way to cull real duplicates for an avid photographer. Second, it has a lot of control over how you compare. I think even iPhotos and Capture One too. You can even browse within the libraries. It can look into Photos libraries, Aperture libraries, and Lr Classic libraries to find images to compare, as well as any Finder folders. That led me to Photo Sweeper X, which is quite nice, and better than either Snapselect or the Lr plugins.įirst, it works on anything. So I first tried Macphun's Snapselect, which they've since abandoned (of course). And part of my problem was that I was moving from Aperture at the time, and also had some unimported stuff that was sort of betwixt and between. First, because they seemed kind of limited, and also because in my case they only worked with images I had in Lr. I tried a couple of Lr plugins for finding dupes and didn't find them that helpful.
