Hello

I am trying to tidy up my iPhoto library and have noticed quite a few duplicate images. I am not sure where these are from.

As an example the ones I am looking at now have a slightly different file size and a different location too.

Here are the details of one duplicate:

They both have the same image name directly from my iPhone

Location - /Pictures/iPhoto Library/Masters/2013/11/01/20131101-153530
Size - 2,145,217 bytes (2.1 MB)

Location - /Pictures/iPhoto Library/Masters/2013/09/17/20130917-232223
Size - 2,079,523 bytes (2.1 MB)

What I am trying to work out is the reason for the duplicate, the slightly different file size and if/how I should delete which if any.

Looking at the folders and the dates given it seems that they have been imported twice, I didn't think this was possible or at least I would have chosen not to import duplicates.

Thanks for any help.
