    How to find duplicate images?

    aljCharlie Community Member

      How do I use Bridge CS5 to find duplicate images and delete them?

          I would try just using the Find feature.  Type in a partial file and select if any criteria met in match.

            So another word, there is no way to use Bridge to automatically find all duplicate images, correct?

              Seems like Find is pretty automatic compared to doing each folder manually and keeping track of what image is in what folder.

                I'm having the same issue as aljCharlie.  Using Find won't work for me due to several reasons.  First, I have 30k+ images in the folder.  Secondly, the images have differing file names but are ultimately duplicate images.

                 

                So, I suppose this has been asked and answered, but just in case it hasn't: Does Bridge have any sort of visual duplicate finder that compares the content of the images rather than simply the file names?  I'm thinking of something like TinEye.  Maybe I should post this in the Feature Request forum.  Hmm.

                 

                Thanks!
