Hi Bill. On the App store there are many duplicate finders, some free. I have not found one that is better or worse than the others.
That being said, I use Chronosync for a few different reasons. One- I can make a Master folder if my assorted files. Music, photos, paintings, word docs, etc. It allows me to do a merge, so I can specify which (latest) files to keep. This helps me when I have a jpg, tif and psd. I used a duo finder app and it would up messing up a couple different folders, deleting the oldest of each file among a few different folders (my bad for not paying closer attention). I still have one each of the three or more different files, but in and on an assortment of different folders and drives. I can schedule a sync or backup. It does a but more, sync folders and drives. Make a clone of a drive, and so on. But just for a simple duplicate skim down, a free one should work. Not too sure on this part, but doesn't the new photo app open and sort older iphoto libraries? I am pretty sure I did an update in my wife's iPhoto libraries when I moved her photos from her MBP to her iMac and newer MBP. Good Luck.
