How many times have\nyou started to organize all your photos and stopped in the middle, frustrated\nby the mess of duplicates?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the Duplicates feature of Phototheca, you finally can tackle this\nissue once and for all and get an overview of how many duplicates you have,\nwhere they are located, and how much space is wasted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phototheca automatically checks for duplicates during the import process\nand collects them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which photos are considered to be duplicates? Phototheca doesn\u2019t compare\nsizes and dates of files; rather, it compares the content of files itself. For\nexample, if you have two JPEG files, and the first has changed in the metadata\nsection and the second has not, Phototheca compares the visual parts of the JPEG,\nignoring the metadata, and is thereby able to detect that the photos are equal,\neven if their file sizes are different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phototheca compares duplicates based on folders; in other words, it\ncompares each folder to one another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If any duplicates are detected, Phototheca shows the item \u201cDuplicates\u201d with a counter on the left pane. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/lunarship.com\/manual\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/12_Duplicates_01_Duplicates.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-487\" width=\"253\" height=\"95\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Click the \u201cDuplicates\u201d item to see all the duplicates in the Library.
