The reason for the pointer is as I provided.


This way you can view the photos in an album only by selecting the album, or view all photos transferred from your computer by selecting Photo Library.


The pointer allows for not having to duplicate the photos as in taking double the storage space aloing with all photos transferred from your computer being stored in one location.


The same applies to music. Music in a playlist is not duplicated as in taking double the storage space. This way you can play the music in a playlist only by selecting the playlist, or you can select from all songs in your library on the computer, iPod, or iOS device.

All photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync/transfer process are stored in the iPhone's Photo Library. All photos in albums, events, etc. below Photo Library are not duplicated as in taking double the storage space. The photos in the albums below include a pointer only to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. This way you can view the photos in an album only by selecting the album, or view all photos transferred from your computer by selecting Photo Library.


The same applies to iTunes music placed in playlists. The music in playlists is not duplicated as in taking double the storage space. Music in playlists includes a pointer only to the original music stored in the main music library.
