Particularly after installing OS X 10.10.3 with Apple’s new Photos app, you might be surprised to learn that you’ve lost a lot of hard drive space, and that there are suddenly tons of duplicate photos on your Mac. Today’s How-To is focused on something very specific but with a lot of optimization potential: trimming down your Mac’s photo library. Makes me wonder whether the hours spent scanning could have been reduced.I’ve focused a lot over the last few months on helping readers to speed up and optimize Apple’s Macs - everything from adding RAM to recovering hard drive space and upgrading old hard drives to faster SSDs.

I spent several scans fumbling with the settings to try to eliminate all the modified duplicates, and filename (1), filename (2) duplicate files it was deciding to keep instead of the original, shorter filename.Įxact match is not what it says. After importing photos to scan, these critical settings should be PROMINENTLY shown, and possibly with pre-sets such as “Keep originals”. I only just discovered that you can drag to re-order the auto-mark logic. I had trouble with the wrong files being marked for deletion, and each change requires another scan… The auto-mark settings are buried in the Preferences menu.
