When you 'copy' photos into new albums you are only creating a pointer to the photo, you are not creating a separate copy of it - if you delete the original photo you will be deleting all pointers to it and it will be removed from any album that you've 'copied' it into.


The Collections/Photos and Albums views are just different ways of viewing the same photos.
