iphoto
I did a stupid thing with one Event in iPhoto library. I thought of making a copy of this Event, and I did use the menu duplicate.
Instead of creating another copy of event, it did copies of all the photos inside the existing event. (new to iPhoto usage ;-))
So the big task I have is to delete the possible duplicates of 350 photos. Is there any tool/ option in iPhoto/ apple script etc.. to accomplish task ?
Okay, so I think I've solved the problem and thought I'd post this up just in case anyone runs into similar issues...
I've downloaded a program Data Rescue 3, and I'm scanning the drive for deleted files. The program seems easy to use although I found that if you want to scan your internal drive (as in my case), you'll need to have another external drive plugged in as the software won't let you restore to the same drive you're recovering from.
When you run the software, select your internal drive to scan off then select the deleted files scan. When prompted, select your external drive to work off.
I'll post my results, success or failure, in the comments soon.
Screenshot of results:
You need to export the images from Machine A to the Finder, then import that to machine B.
There's no other way to do it that won't get edited versions etc.

I wrote a $7 app called Duplifinder that finds and shows duplicates in your iPhoto Library: http://www.haystacksoftware.com/duplifinder/
You can view the sets of duplicates, double-click to locate a photo in iPhoto, press Delete to delete a photo from iPhoto. Or just push "Move all duplicates to iPhoto Trash" to clean up.
