Duplicate Photos Fixer 1.2

Duplicate Photos Fixer is a handy application that identifies and removes duplicate images. This way, you can unclutter your drive of useless similar photos and regain valuable storage space.

The tool provides two duplicate identification modes. Namely, it lets you search both for photos that match perfectly and for images with slightly different characteristics. The program allows you to import individual photos, entire folders of files, and large photo libraries to search for dupes. The left panel displays the match modes that you can easily switch between. When dealing with similar images, you have the ability to adjust the comparison parameters as you prefer. Before starting the scan process, it is recommended that you open the Preferences dialogue in order to define filters and exclusion rules for more accurate results. Therefore, you can determine the minimum file size to be taken into account when searching for duplicates. In addition, you can select the file types and specific folders to be excluded from scanning, either to fasten up the search process or to prevent precious photos from being considered duplicates and, consequently, removed from your computer.

Once all settings are defined, you can enable the scan operation. The results will be organized in groups of similar photos and displayed as thumbnails with detailed metadata information attached to each item. Furthermore, the identified duplicates can be shown in Finder to inspect them more thoroughly. Removing duplicates can be done either manually or automatically. When dealing with large image collections, the 'Auto Mark' function is of great help, as it offers to check the items considered to be worth deleting. The 'Auto Mark' function is based on a set of rules that can be managed in terms of occurrence and priority.

Using Duplicate Photos Fixer is simple and intuitive. Yet, the current free edition allows you to remove only 15 duplicates, which makes you think that the program is only the trial version of a program you need to purchase.
