P: Search for Duplicate Photos

Adobe - Please, please , please give us a duplicate finder feature for Lightroom CC. I find it difficult/impossible to believe that we have yet to see this feature on what appears to be turning into your flagship photo manager. Anyone migrating their photos is likely to encounter this problem for one reason or another.  Your facial recognition feature is beyond awesome. It's been two years...  Clearly this should not be such a big ask?

I am slowly importing, and loading older images from multiple sources.

This is leading to duplicate images. Previously with Classic I used external tools or plugins to find duplicate images. The best tools used either a pixel hash excluding a border amount (very fast, but will miss some changes to the image), or used interest point (very slow, but more accurate).

I would like to see such a framework added to Lr; or a plugin architecture allowing for such a third party tool to be developed.

Note: would likely need configurable settings if duplicates found to ignore if select metadata does not match (such as root filename and capture time) to account for high speed capture sequences.

Uma função para desfocar o Fundo junto com as máscaras de seleção seria muito bem vindo e útil principalmente na versão mobile. 

@HenrikRasmussen I don't think they're too confused, this request had no votes when I posted, and now has 6. The voting system here is relatively new, and wouldn't have existed when this thread was originally created. Mentioning it allowed other people following the original thread to come back and vote. 

It would be nice if you just upvoted my feature request. I think people may be confused  by your reply, now upvoting your reply instead of my feature request.

Feature gets my vote. It appears that there aren't any other votes on this feature yet, so if you'd find it useful, please click the Upvote button in the top right corner.

I need a featrure to find duplicate photos in Lightroon CC (not Classic) so I can delete them, or so the feture could offer to delete them.

According to a post from 2018 lasting through 2021 there is other people needing this feature.

I am currently using Lightroom version 5.3

It would be great that we could make a Search for Duplicate files inside Lightroom . I know there are plugins but they have their limitations like not being able to sort automatically and delete the duplicate files. You have to do it manually if they are exactly the same .

As catalogues can sometimes by user error get full of duplicated if you are not careful it would be great to have such a feature and not only during import

Do you happen to have an iPad as well? We often see this where iCloud Photos is syncing photos to both devices, and one or both have LR's Auto Import enabled.

I do agree that post-import duplicate detection would be very useful in the cloud ecosystem. I'll move this to a feature request, but if a moderator remembers an existing feature request (which I can't find right now!) already exists, they might merge it.

Like google photos, you're able to search for duplicate photos, blurry, photos, etc. and delete them from the cloud to make more room. I am almost full with my Adobe cloud storage, and would love to have a quick way to remove more photos!!
