Dear members.
I have 68 GB or 20-30 tsd. photos of my 3 children since 1997, landscape, travelling for an example but I have it on a hard disk as I am afraid of importing it into iPhoto or aperture due to duplicates. I have tried some duplicate programs but they have trouble with processing as many files have exactly same filesize which happens with a lot of photos but they are not always the same. My goal is to create events as I can but all photos have filename of img00568 or numbers only. Does iPhoto or Aperture have options or possibilities to re-organize the library with date taken, place and etc even though I have transferred the collection multiple times between hard disks?
Questions are therefor:
1. Which program would you recommend me to import the whole collection even though there are many duplicates?
2. Would you recommend me to use some duplicate remover before importing it into the recommended photo software as asked in question nr. 1?
3. Is there available software which can automatically process big libraries with place photo is taken, date and etc.?
4. Is there a specific process with multiple software which would be the best system and which solutions are those?
Please feel free to advice me
