If you solely use Lightroom to organize your pictures like I do, you’ll notice a million folders in the picture below. To get started, you’ll want to have Lightroom opened up and the Library module selected.

I’ve done this a few times in the years, so I figured others may also benefit from this.
Find duplicates lightroom plugin update#
While I was doing so, I ended up removing loads of duplicates - some of which were tracked in Lightroom as well, many of them weren’t though.Īfter removing the duplicates, I wanted Lightroom to update what changes have been made - what files when where, what files were removed and so forth. I’ve recently initiated a clean up and consolidation of all my photos and all my hard drives into one Lightroom catalog. Synchronizing also helps out with organization - especially if you’ve done an overhaul of the locations and file structure of where your pictures are stored. Synchronizing folders helps you use Lightroom to track all those changes and versions that have been made outside of Lightroom. Maybe you created an external edit, maybe you created a couple different versions, maybe you even deleted them or moved them. When you use a third-party program to edit a picture outside of Lightroom’s knowledge, it doesn’t have a chance to update the changes to the photo. As much as I try to keep my workflow minimal and simplistic, sometimes there are other pieces of software that I’d like to use that don’t seamlessly integrate with Lightroom Classic.
