If you didn’t catch the recent conversation at Digital Media Thoughts on deleting digital photos, you might be missing out on some of the best reasons for dumping your duplicate photos. Chris weighed in with his opinion on the topic and I confessed to being something of a digital image packrat. As a result of the conversation, I discovered a cool automated solution in Unique Filer, which not only finds exact duplicates but also detects photos with similar composition. Of course you need to take photos before you can delete them, which means acquiring tools like the Gorillapod to easily snap photos in even the most complicated situations.
