I expect this functionality from a design suite which is why i canceled my adobe subscription.

I use Duplicate Image Finder for that. It works with Lightroom and can scan any folder for similar and duplicate photos. It can also compare LR catalog with a physical folder.

There is an article about finding duplicates in lightroom too.

DuplicateFilesDeleter is a simple, but effective tool to locate duplicate files in one or more selected search paths. It scans the files and compares them based on Byte for Byte Comparison, which ensures 100% accuracy. You can then choose to delete the selected duplicate or original files. The program is multi-threaded and performs scans quickly.

Thanks! Does it 'see' virtual copies? Can it tell if a VC has been converted to a master? Does it show versions (files with the same name but different edit dates) or just files that are exactly unchanged.

A free cross-platforum application that finds duplicates is dupeGuru available at http://www.hardcoded.net/dupeguru/.

There are other applications that do this too including paid ones with fancier UIs and additional features. A web search of "find duplicate files on mac" or "find duplicate files on windows" will lead you to these other applications.
