Hi,
I have logged onto my desktop version of LRCC and I now have duplicates of many of my images. Not just a different format, but exactly the same name and image.
I initially started uploading my images in years from my photo library on dropbox. I then organised the images into albums and folders in LRCC (Mac).
I also started to upload the images from my iphone directly into LR using the app. (Probably not a good idea, but, I stupidly didn't think through potential issues).
I don't see duplicates on my phone LRCC app, only on my computer. The only difference between the two files is the metadata that tells me that one of the images is in an album. The actual image doesn't seem to have duplicated in the backup folder on my hard drive.
If you organise your images into folders is it supposed to show a duplicate?
Could I have inadvertently uploaded duplicates from my phone and because the metadata is different (ie one is in a folder and one isn't) it is now showing the duplicated photo in my library?
Should I delete all the duplicates that are not in the albums or will this stuff something else up?
Thanks for your help.
