Best approach for finding and sorting duplicates

Post by Jeri »

I have about 120.000 images on a USB-drive, many are duplicated images in forms of copies, copies of folders with these images, thumbnails of the images and so on. There is of course images that are not duplicates, but they are all mixed up now and everyone is not having correct created date/capture time.

My goal is to end up with the best (1) copy of all images, the original or the ones with best resolution, and then have them copied and sorted in to folders named YYYY and then a subfolder for every day a picure was taken or created . Like YYYY\YYYY-MM-DD, and in there pictures for each day.

How would you achieve this step by step using the paid Pro version?

Image mode will help with this - it'll find images across resolutions. The Selection Assistant allows you to pick the lowest resolution to delete (or the best resolution to copy).
