All of these applications expect to be the master source so trying to combine multiple applications is not impossible but it takes a lot of discipline and a very tight workflow and unless you are tech-savvy and really understand how to manage this, it’s best avoided. Try to stick to one application for your photos, trying to use Apple Photos, iCloud, Lightroom X and Y all as repositories will almost certainly create headaches down the line at some point.

Remember, that Lightroom and other software can’t actually scan the image graphically to identify if it as a duplicate so it relies on the file name, date and time stamp and metadata (exposure, lens, camera etc). Lightroom provides a field (image Title) separate from the image file name for you to call your image something more interesting than IMG_25478.jpg If you do you run the risk of Lightroom and other software treating it as a different image to another version of it. I’ve said this many times before but will say it again, never change the actual file name that the camera assigns to the file. i.e jpg or jpeg and so on or previous botched attempts to rescue a failed hard drive or images renamed the files to a string of letters and numbers. So after a few hours of configuring, downloading photos from LR CC and Apple Photos we began the import of all the images and at the same time re-organised them inside of Lightroom Classic into year and date order.Īs ever this produced multiple copies of the same photo “duplicates” and in this case, there were triplicates and even quadruples! This often occurs because the file names of the photos or file formats are different. Having done that migration umpteen times I was confident I could assist them. The client phoned me to ask if I could help them sort it all out and get everything in one place, Lightroom Classic and organise the images into some hieratical structure. Photos stored in different places local hard drive, external hard drives, some in Apple Photos, some in Lightroom CC because they installed that instead of Lightroom Classic and so on. It was a familiar scenario that I have encountered on many occasions with clients.
I recently supported (through an online 1-2-1 using Zoom) a client sort out his Lightroom Library and images. Getting rid of duplicate images in Lightroom can be a tedious task this guide walks you through how to remove duplicate images in Lightroom safely.
