[QUOTE="skybolt, post: 676123, member: 30261"] First off, do not do any editing of anything in the finder. Stay out of that folder altogether. You will render iPhoto incapable of finding your photos,and worse! iPhoto organizes photos in its own way and we must not mess with that. If you were looking in your library in finder and thought you saw duplicates, they probably are not actually duplicates. iPhoto keeps the original of each photo so that the user can go back and start any editing fresh. It also keeps a folder called "Modified" that contains the modified photos that you have edited. There are also folders that contain the thumbnails so that the program can work faster. You must not mess with this structure! Now, if you see duplicates in the app, then you do have duplicates. Not sure why this would have happened. How exactly did you import your photos into iPhoto and from where? If you had them in folders, you should (have) imported folder by folder and your organization would be preserved. Tell us what/how you did this and we can help. Now, in Iphoto, to change the date on photos, select the photos you want to change, and then choose Photos (I think that is right, I'm not at the mac right now), and then "Adjust Date and Time". You will also notice there that you can batch change the titles to your photos as well -- nice feature. [/QUOTE]
