duplicate photos: smaller version is being kept?
When I opt to "merge duplicate photos," according to Apple it will use the data from both and keep the highest quality. However, when I "merge" two duplicates of different sizes (like 4.6 mb and 5.1 mb), the smaller photo (the 4.6 mb in this case) has always been preserved. Why is this? Is Apple really just deleting the bigger of the two files?
