这是对你的讽刺。拥有智能手机的众多好处之一是您可以使用内置相机拍摄大量照片。许多缺点之一是能够使用内置相机拍摄大量照片。
为什么拥有智能手机相机既好又坏？因为现在任何人都可以按下快门按钮，而无需考虑胶卷和冲洗成本，这会导致你发疯并复制相同姿势或相同场景的十个副本，然后将整个混乱转移到你的计算机或云存储中。
我是最严重的罪犯。在我们拥有我们的狗的 6 年中，我们（保守地）为它拍摄了大约 10,000 张照片。但我估计这些照片中约有一半是重复的。
您如何摆脱重复的照片而无需一张一张地浏览它们？像往常一样，有一个工具。
输入真棒照片查找器(Enter Awesome Photo Finder)
网上有很多照片复制工具。然而，几乎我尝试过的每一个（而且很多）都有一个极其(extremely)有限的试用版。然后他们要你支付一大笔许可费。
这就是问题所在。我是苏格兰人(Scottish)，这意味着花钱不在我的 DNA 中。我想要一个免费的解决方案，最终我找到了一个，虽然它只适用于Windows，而且看起来有点过时。但它完成了工作，这是主要的事情。
它被称为Awesome Photo Finder。
寻找骗子(Looking For Dupes)
我们在 2013 年得到了我们的狗，所以我将通过Awesome Photo Finder运行 2013 年的狗文件夹，看看它找到了多少重复项。
首次打开Awesome Photo Finder时，单击“+”图标。(Awesome Photo Finder)
现在导航到包含您要扫描的图像的文件夹和/或子文件夹。
选择文件夹后，它将出现在照片查找器顶部的框中。
您可以在一次搜索中添加任意数量的文件夹，因此可以根据需要多次使用“+”。如果您决定从照片查找器中删除任何文件夹，请使用“X”。
我一次只要做一个文件夹，所以选择文件夹后，我现在将单击“开始搜索(Start Search)”。
显然，完成重复搜索所需的时间取决于文件夹中有多少图像。对我来说，1,163 张图片只花了一分钟多的时间。
完成后，您现在将看到：
它将两张照片并排放置在中间，它会给你一个“相似度”评级。评级越高，图像看起来越相同（根据照片查找器(Photo Finder)）。
在“设置”(Settings)中，您可以指定它只为您提供“100% 相同”的结果。这很有用，但也相当不灵活。我更愿意说“任何 90% 及以上相同的东西”。或者差不多。
虽然这个声称只有 25% 的相似性，但我会说它看起来非常相似。唯一真正的区别是狗头的位置。
所以对他们中的许多人来说，这是你的判断。你如何定义“重复”？
当您决定删除哪一张后，首先查看每张照片下的图像尺寸数据。确保您没有保留缩略图并丢弃全尺寸图像！
如您所见，您可以将不需要的图像移动到计算机上的另一个位置或将其删除。
如果您想先查看 100% 重复的图像，然后从那里往下走，请单击屏幕底部的“相似度”列。结果现在将相应地重新组合。
现在你会得到在各个方面都完全相同的那些。
一些结束的想法……(Some Closing Thoughts….)
我们懒惰的一面可能会倾向于让软件应用程序完成工作并自动删除它认为是“重复”的内容。但是像照片这样珍贵的东西，你真的要让它不检查就直接删除吗？
这是有条不紊地通过它们来支付股息的一件事。该软件通过查找重复项完成了艰苦的工作。您所要做的就是决定哪个去哪个留下。
How To Weed Out Duplicate Digital Photos On Your Windows Computer
Here’s irony for you. One of the many upsides of
оwning a smartphone is that you can take lоts of photos with the built-in
camеra. One of the many dоwnsides is being able to take lots of photoѕ wіth the
built-in camera.
Why is owning a smartphone camera both good and bad?
Because anyone can now press the shutter button without having to think about
camera film and developing costs, which leads to you going crazy and making ten
copies of the same pose or the same scene, then transferring the whole mess to
your computer or cloud storage.
I’m the worst offender. During the 6 years we’ve owned
our dog, we’ve made (conservatively) about 10,000 photos of him. But I estimate
that about half of those photos are duplicates.
How do you get rid of duplicate photos without the
tedium of going through them one-by-one? As usual, there’s a tool for that.
Enter Awesome Photo Finder
There are many photo duplicate tools available online.
However, virtually every one I tried (and it was a lot) had an extremely limited trial version. Then
they wanted you to pay a hefty sum for a license fee.
Here’s the problem though. I’m Scottish, which means
that spending money is not in my DNA. I want a free solution and eventually I
found one, although it’s only for Windows and it looks a bit dated. But it gets
the job done which is the main thing.
It’s called Awesome Photo Finder.
Looking For Dupes
We got our dog in 2013, so I’m going to run the 2013
dog folder through Awesome Photo Finder and see how many duplicates it finds.
When you open Awesome Photo Finder for the first time,
click on the “+” icon.
Now navigate to the folder and/or sub-folder
containing the images you want to scan.
When you have chosen a folder, it will appear in the
box at the top of the photo finder.
You can add as many folders as you want to one search,
so use the “+” as many times as you need. If you decide to delete any of the
folders from the photo finder, use the “X”.
I am only going to do one folder at a time, so with the folder selected, I will now click “Start Search”.
Obviously the time it takes to complete the duplicate
search will depend on how many images are in the folder. For me, 1,163 images
took just over a minute.
When it is finished, you will now see this :
It will put two photos side-by-side and in the middle,
it will give you a “similarity” rating. The higher the rating, the more the
images look the same (according to Photo Finder).
In the Settings, you can specify that it only gives you results which are “100% identical”. This is useful but also rather inflexible. I would much rather prefer say “anything of 90% and over identical”. Or thereabouts.
Although this one claims only 25% similarity, I would
say it looks VERY identical. The only real difference is the position of the
dog’s head.
So for many of them, it’s a judgement call by you. How
do you define “duplicate”?
When you have decided which one should be deleted,
first look at the image size data under each photo. Be sure that you are not
keeping the thumbnail and throwing away the full-size image!
As you can see, you can either move the unneeded image
to another location on your computer or delete it.
If you want to see the 100% duplicate images first and
work your way down from there, click on the “Similarity” column down at the
bottom of the screen. The results will now reassemble accordingly.
Now you will get the ones that are really identical in
every way.
Some Closing Thoughts….
The lazy side of us may be tempted to just let the
software app do the job and automatically delete what it deems to be
“duplicates”. But with something as precious as photos, do you really want to
let it just delete things without checking it first?
This is one thing where going through them
methodically pays off dividends. The software has done the hard work by finding
duplicates. All you have to do is decide which one goes and which one stays.
