I have noticed that when I try to organize my image collection, and place images in different albums, they do not move out of my Camera Roll, but they are copied to the album selected. I want to move these photos, not copy them, how is this done?

It’s not. They are not ‘copied’. Only one copy of each photo exists. The albums contain pointers to the actual photos in your camera roll.
