Duplicates, duplicates

This is beginning to seem like a project with no end, yet I’m amazed with what I’ve already accomplished.

Since my mac —and iPhoto as well— broke down on me last month, and I had to reinstall everything, I was left with a gazillion photos scattered all over the place, with several libraries with their respective originals and modified files, plus others that I was unsure if they were a backup or not…

To be on the safe side, I decided to put them all together in one library and work with it to discard all duplicates. Well, I had to make five libraries instead, as iPhoto starts slowing down after 20,000 pics or so. I’m currently “down” to about 40,000 pics —well, maybe 43,000 :P

After I take care of all the duplicates, I’ll continue to organize the rest.
