If a given photo exists more than once (either at the same size (same resolution) or at different sizes (different resolutions), I'd like to select only one copy and explicitly only a copy of the highest available resolution (ignoring all lower-res copies).

Sharing a photo taken by one's own smartphone would, to my understanding, leave the full-res photo on the phone and additionally create and save a compressed, lower-res and renamed copy of the sent photo in a WhatsApp directory, effectively creating a lower-res duplicate.Īs the first iteration of my envisaged workflow I'd like to select unique photos only (over a range of folders and sub-folders). What makes this particularly challenging is WhatsApp, as it is configured on my phone (by default) sends/receives compressed, lower-res images, rather than full-res. Separating the wheat from the chaff is a time consuming late-night endeavor.

Perusing thousands of photos from my smartphone transferred to my computer is a bit of a challenge.
