After duplicate detection is enabled and data is prepared, search for duplicate or near-duplicate image groups in the database, a folder, or a collection.
Duplicate detection helps clean large image libraries before delivery, archiving, or long-term organization.
Before You Start
Make sure duplicate detection is enabled and the related data has been generated. If it was enabled after indexing, rebuild or refresh the duplicate data first.
Steps
- Open the duplicate detection entry.
- Choose the scope: whole database, folder, or collection.
- Start the duplicate search.
- Wait for groups to be generated.
- Open each group and review the images before deleting anything.
Choosing Scope
- Whole database: broad cleanup.
- Folder: clean one project or directory.
- Collection: clean a prepared delivery set.
Common Cases
- If no groups appear, check whether duplicate data exists.
- If groups are too broad, narrow the scope.
- Always review images manually before deleting files.
