Question

Find all pictures with identical time taken stamp

I often have duplicates within Lightroom caused by multiple uplinks, multiple edits, etc.

It would be great if:

1. I could select all pictures with the same date taken

2. Lightroom would highlight the one it thinks its the best.

It would save a lot of time sorting.

One way may be to.....

Create an empty Album

In Lightroom CC Right/Ctrl Click and select 'Show Photos from the Same Date'

Drag these into the created Album

At http://lightroom.adobe.com​ navigate to that Album

Click the three dots top right, choose Best Photos and use the Options sliders as required.

Thank you. Didn't know about "Best Photos". My problem remains since I'd like to catch actual duplicates which have been massaged so they are not identical, and then see which one the algorithm selects as best. I'm trying to delete thousands of duplicates that way.

Sorry, I cannot think of a way to identify duplicates.
