Select Original Photos Based on Filenames Because Apple's Shared Photo Albums Reduce Resolution

Apple’s Shared Albums are convenient for photo sharing but often reduce image resolution, which can be problematic when you need the original quality. To address this, I’ve developed select-original-photos-based-on-file-names-because-Apple-s-shared-photo-albums-reduce-resolution, a shell script that helps you retrieve original photos based on filenames from a reference directory.

select-original-photos-based-on-file-names-because-Apple-s-shared-photo-albums-reduce-resolution works by comparing filenames in your reference folder with those in your input folder, identifying and copying the original files to a designated output folder. This ensures you maintain the highest quality versions of your photos, even after sharing.
