Distinctively different images were marked as duplicates, probably because the capture time would have been the same down to the second and the bulk of the image – the only noticeable difference being the position of the ball – had PhotoSweeper marking them as dupes, when sometimes one was worthless and the other publishable. I also found some similar issues with bokeh. Using the default settings, I found sports images were often incorrectly marked. You can choose to remove different file formats via preferences, and sort the photo list and results.
Talking of preferences, PhotoSweeper can not only compare photos, but videos, Quicktime files, flash files… lots of things. Using PhotoSweeper made life very easy.Ī batch of RAW+ JPEG images had PhotoSweeper finding each pair as a match, but this problem can be solved with a quick trip to preferences, where I selected “Photos of the same format only”.Īperture handles RAW+ JPEG pairs well – I'm not keen to delete them by accident – so I'll leave that setting on. Deleting these via the finder is, well, a hassle. PhotoSweeper makes comparisons based on “An algorithm for comparison and grouping: Bitmap, Histogram, Time Interval, Time+Bitmap, Time+Histogram and Duplicates Only”.įor finding exact duplicates, PhotoSweeper searches for identical content, regardless of the file name (although there is a setting for this in preferences, forcing PhotoSweeper to find matched file names…) so it easily found and identified a folder of images which had been imported from a card twice, which results in a (1) being appended to the end of each file name. Photosweeper’s homepage shows a huge list of features and benefits
