What does Duplicate Photo Fixer Pro do?
Duplicate Photo Fixer Pro is a tool that helps clean duplicates stored on your Mac and in Photos Library. Using this excellent duplicate photo clearing tool, you can detect and clean exact matches and similar matching pictures from your Mac.

- Exact Match - detect exact replicas of images.
- Similar Match (Recommended) - detects similar images with edits and slight modification. To get better results, using the Similar Match option is suggested.
Note - Similar Match option allows adjusting matching criteria. This gives more control over the type of similar images that will be identified.
- Once all the changes are done, select the type of images you would like to scan - Captured or Imported (Photos Library) and the duration before clicking Scan for Duplicates.
Captured - scans images based on the captured date.
