- eloisius 2y agoMaybe it's different on the desktop, but on the iPhone it only detects the same photo that may have been saved at different resolutions or things like that. That's useful, but I really want something that can say use an embedding or something to group all 10 photos I shot of friends around the campfire and help me select one keeper and delete the other 9.
- mrexroad 2y agoThe feature works the same on iPhone. Looking through my duplicates just now, the detected duplicates that had a dozen or so photos to merge, are either high speed sports photography bursts or astrophotography—the rest were just mostly two photo duplicates. I suspect the threshold for determining a the photo as duplicate is too high for successive* photos to be considered such, as with your campfire example. With that said, I’m surprised Apple hasn’t implemented a feature to group/bundle successive photos beneath what is determined to be “best.” [*] Note: successive photos being separate shutter taps/actuations (potentially several seconds apart), where bursts are continuous (generally as fast as hardware allows, ms apart).
