I think it's a great idea for a new feature, say in the Camera Roll. Flickr would have to employ some pretty powerful image recognition to decide what a 'duplicate' is, and there isn't an image recognition system in the world that's 100% accurate, which is what you need when it comes to DELETING content, especially automatically. But once your photos are uploaded to Flickr they all get a unique filename, so to Flickr they all become unique files. Jourdanfamily: Most photo management tools handle duplicate reduction via filename. Other sources might just mean that they have stored and uploaded multiple copies of their own photos from different devices. You cannot have photos in your account that are taken from other sources.

Kmacgray edited this topic 86 months ago. Why hasn't FLICKR come up with an in house solution for this very common problem ? I have found a couple of poorly performing third party add ons for FLICKR that really don't work. I just use a program like Photosweeper to delete all the duplicates.

Dealing with this problem is simple in iphoto. I have inevitably uploaded hundreds of duplicate photos. I like many have uploaded many thousands of photos from a variety of sources.
