All photos with one or more of the passed keywords will be ignored.Quite correctly, Lightroom 4 reads the AspectFrame metadata of raw files and crops the photo accordingly on import. The field "Names" is a comma-separated list of keywords. You can also mark photos with a keyword to exclude them from the search for duplicates. Select this check-box to avoid the inclusion of virtual copies. Thus, virtual copies are usually detected as duplicates.

They are referencing a master photo and have usually the same meta-data. The first option are the so called virtual copies. In order to make the selection of photos still comfortable you can define criteria when photos should be ignored. Not all photos should be taken into account during the search for duplicates. You can use the commenting function at the bottom for this. Please take a look at the ExifTool documentation and share any useful tags with us. Thus, it is not guaranteed that ExifTool can Panasonic's format doesn't know sub-seconds but provides the sequence number. Nikon's raw format supports the sub-second but not the sequence number.

The execution is pretty expensive (in terms of execution time) and can slow down the duplicate finding process.Īnother challenge are the different metadata fields. If you turn on this option then Teekesslechen uses the ExifTool only for potential duplicates. Lightroom supports only seconds as smallest unit leading to unmeant duplicates if you take more than one photo per second.

This can be very helpful for continuous shootings. Teekesselchen can use this application to get more information, e.g. ExifToolĮxifTool is a programm written by Phil Harvey which, extracts Exif metadata from photos. The capture date can now be deactivated (this was not possible in earlier releases). The recommendation is: try to avoid name and size but use it when necessary. Usually it is notĪ good idea to use this, but in some special cases it can be useful. You can now chose the file name, size and type as criterion. An empty meta-data field will always be ignored. Usually it is a good idea to select all fields but you can reduce the processing time by using less meta-data fields. Teekesselchen takes the selected meta-data fields and marks photos with equal values as duplicates. This section offers the selection of meta-data about the camera, settings during the image acquisition, global positioning system (GPS) and the capture time.
