There are a number of easy ways for automatically find, remove or delete duplicate photo files, pictures and images.



Automatically

The best way and also the easiest way to automatically delete or remove duplicate photos is to use PhotoSurfer's "AutoSort" feature.

1. Select:       AutoSort   (top Menu under Organize)
2. Follow the AutoSort Wizard steps

Manually

The easiest way to manually find and identify duplicate photos is to switch to 'Detail View' and click on the column headings to sort the files by: file name, file size, file type, date taken etc.

1. Change the Selective Loading to 'All'       (bottom left corner)                                                   
2. Click the 'Change View' icon in the bottom toolbar which will switch the view to 'Details' view.        
3. Wait for View list to completely to populate.
