Hey Lifehacker, My archive of digital photos stretches back a dozen years and is 70GB in size. I recently combined all my photos files on to my new laptop and have quickly realised that in some cases I have triplicate copies or more of the same photos in different folders. Are there any programs that can analyse and match photos that appear more than once? I have spoken with all my friends and they all suffer this common problem.

Windows: One of the most tedious parts of dealing with photos taken from your camera (or phone) is sorting through the 20 pictures you took to find the two good ones. PhotoSift does that job quickly, with plenty of keyboard shortcuts.

Hey Lifehacker, Over the years I have amassed tens of thousands of photos spanning many different digital cameras. I've backed up the photos multiple times in multiple directories across multiple drives. To make matters worse, since I've used multiple cameras a lot of the jpg file names are the same, but are in fact different pictures. How do I filter, de-dupe and clean up my digital photos? Help me Lifehacker! Thanks, Photo Overload

When we originally chose the best photo management app for Mac OS X, a few were overlooked. After further consideration, we feel that Lyn easily beats iPhoto. While it costs a tiny bit more, it is far more versatile than Apple's offering.

Hey Lifehacker, Got any tips for managing an excess of holiday photos? Take me, for example: on my trip to Melbourne and Sydney last March, I took around 2500 photos; I was there for three weeks. Even a short 3-day vacation took up more than 200 shots. The big problem I'm facing is which one to print. Thanks, Photo Profligate
