Find dupes and apply batch edits to your photos
A lthough there’s no major change in Photos, lots of smaller improvements like finding duplicates and batch editing make it even better to use.
1 Eliminate duplicates
When Photos analyses images in your library, it looks for duplicates with contents that appear identical even if files have different formats or metadata. Any it finds are listed in a new section in its sidebar, so you can check them and accept its offer to merge them into one.
2 Display in HDR
If your Mac’s display supports high dynamic range with HDR, enable Photos’ Settings > General > View Full HDR so that your display will be automatically adjusted to show images in HDR.
3 Batch edit images
When you have a batch of images to which you want to apply exactly the same edits, make those on one of the images, copy and paste those edits to apply them to the others.
4 Import photos and videos
The standard Photos picker used to import photos and videos into system and other apps has been improved, and now provides improved search of your Photos library.
5 More Memories
Memory types available now include This Day in History, and children playing.
