Q: when I download photos from Mac to Ipad I get two of each photo - why?

When I plug my Ipad into Mac to sync why do I end up with 2 of each photo on my Ipad?

    Hi. If they're in Photos on the iPad and they appear in Albums as well as the Camera Roll, then there is only one copy. The albums on iPad are just virtual objects, displaying selected photos from the Camera Roll. You may be used to files and folders on a computer, but things work differently in iOS.
