I am in the process of organising my image archive (maybe 200,000 images) and instituting a completely scalable and future-proof (yeah right!) structure. I need to find a way of identifying lots of duplicate images. Not all the images that are duplicates will be shot digitally some will have been scanned. There is also a problem with some of the creation dates of the images reverting to a default.
I have tried to use Duplicate Image Detector but it has crashed every time I have tried to use it on a large catalogue. Running it on a Mac Pro 2x 3.2 Ghz Quad Core Intel with 32 GB of Ram. If it ran I think it would be the answer.
I have aperture 2 and the demo of Lightroom, but can't find a decent way of finding dupe images using either. Is there a plugin that can do it?
The search needs to compare metadata or checksums or visual similarities not just file names. I think I managed to eliminate the files with the same name using EasyFind.
Any thoughts on how to do this?
