I am consolidating a few drives and notice a lot of folders that contain duplicates. Looking for recommendations for software that will make this easier on me to find actual duplicates so I can get down to one set of masters.

Best I’ve found so far is PhotoSweeper X. Over the years I‘ve probably tried 20 of them. PhotoSweeper is, by far, the best of the lot with most of them being nothing more than money grabs by Apple and it’s developers. Take some time to understand the options. I have a clean disk so perhaps my settings are not what you want. In any event: Similar Photos, File Name Any, Time Gap More, Matching Level Partial, Bitmaps, Bitmap Size Quality, Blur Radius between 11 and weak, align colors, Combine Groups checked.
