Finding duplicate photos with inferior EXIF data

Post by bsacco »

Does anyone know how to set up DCP 5 to detect all duplicate photos with inferior EXIF data compared to their match?

I am asking this because I have a large photo of recovered photos that are full of duplicates but only one of the matched pairs has all the EXIF data while its match only has partial (inferior) EXIF data. Of course, I want to find all the "inferior" matches and delete them.

Any tips are welcome.

Please provide step-by-step instructions.

You can use the Selection Assistant

-For each exif field set the field to Lowest/blank and arrange in order of preference.

And use "All but one matching set in each group"

Note you'll need to check the results of this as it can't distinguish between 'good' and 'bad' exif data.
