Excire Foto 2027: find and remove duplicate photos

This tutorial covers duplicate cleanup in Excire Foto 2027, including copied RAW files and JPEG exports. The presenter recommends its dedicated culling tools when the goal is choosing the best shots, and Find Duplicates when the goal is removing unwanted copies.

Searches can cover the whole database, the current view, selected folders or collections, or compare photos in two locations. Exact matching looks for identical files. Near-duplicate search has an adjustable similarity threshold, while sequence search groups photos by capture time. Users can also exclude bursts from similarity results. The example searches a wedding collection of around 1,000 photos with a medium similarity setting; the presenter warns that larger searches can take longer.

Results appear in duplicate sets. Users can sort photos within each set, apply pick or rejection flags, and select the first photo after sorting by resolution. The Flagging Assistant adds rules such as keeping RAW files or accepting the highest-resolution JPEG in each set.

Flags alone do not delete files. A separate deletion dialog lets users remove rejected photos from the application or delete them from the computer as well. The supplied description identifies it as software that runs locally.
