Next step in order to eliminate duplicate photos is to address the process for transferring photos from our camera (or phone) to our computer. Delete Your Digital Photos After Each Transfer If you choose Auto Reset, then your file numbering will start with 1 every time you put in a memory card in your camera.Ģ. This is the first good measure to guard against duplicate files. This means that you get 10,000 pictures (yeah it’s actually 9999) with unique image numbers. The Continuous file naming scheme will continually number your images from 0001 to 9999 and then reset back to 0001. The most common two schemes are Continuous and Auto Reset. Modern standalone digital cameras (those devices that are only cameras…not your phone) have different file naming schemes available. Fortunately however, most modern phones have the continuous file naming scheme already in use, so you can pretty much skip this step if your phone is the only camera you use. Unfortunately for your phone, there is nothing you can do as the file numbering scheme is already set for your phone. In order to eliminate duplicate photos we have to start at the source, with your camera.
