Hi all,

I've the following challenge:

  • I have 2TB of photos

  • Sometimes the same photo is available as RAW, .dmg (converted by lightroom) and JPEG

  • I cannot sort by date (was to lazy to set camera dates every time) and also EXIF are not a 100% indicator

  • the same files can exists multiple times with different file name

How can I handle this mess?

I would need a tool, that:

  • removes all duplicated files (identified via hash/fingerprint independently of file name / exif)

  • compares pixel & exif and keeps the file with the highest quality

  • respects the folder structure, as this is the only way to keep images at the same place that belongs together (as date is not helping)

Any idea? (software can be for MacOS, Windows or Linux)
