Multiple versions of same photo

When using iPhoto for iOS I have noticed that it seems to create multiple versions of an image, even if you just open and view the image.


How can I consoldate these images into one.

I installed the update over the existing install on my ipad. The duplicate photos were still there.


Uninstalling the app and reinstalling it does remove the duplicates, and the new version has not created any new duplicates (yet).


iPhoto is backed up to iCloud, it would be nice to restore just that backup to the device, which should bring in the edits. Maybe a new feature for iOS6?


The Journal I created was still there though, which is weard.

Im having the same issue, and now with the "face" new thing its eating up tons of my hard drive. and you cant turn off this "face" thing? what are these people thinking? honestly I dont get it sometimes. the first person to test the face thing would see how annoying it is. and now its duplicating pictures up to 8 times. I dont understand why its duplicating pictures many times, it doesnt make any sense. Whats so hard about fixing the issue? Its severly annoying. You make enough money apple to have 50 people working to fix this right now! IM sick of it. I had my external HD hookd up and it took 10 years worth of digital photos and made multiple copes of each. Theres some major issues with the MAC. This is my first. I used to always have dell computers or other ones, they had other problems so i couldnt take it anymore. is it that hard to make a reliable computer that works? Im sick of it!!
