Hi John,the iPhoto library folder on your computer does keep 3 copies of the photo. The original, the modified version (if you have altered contrast/cropped/ rotated etc the picture) and finally a thumbnail for quick viewing the image.
When you move your picture to an external storage device such as the memory stick you mentioned you usually do this by exporting the image from iPhoto or simply drag it from iPhoto. This will place only one file (image) on your memory stick.
The only way you would have all 3 files on your memory stick that I can think of is if you dragged the whole iPhoto library to you memory stick.
Regards,
Eugene

Hi WamuggersI †ook a memory stick into Cameraland to print from iPhoto shots. They told me that iPhoto creates 3 copies of each image in small, medium and full resolution. Therefore they were unable to identify on their server which copy to print. The person who explained it to me has some knowledge of Mac stuff.Can anyone confirm that this is what happens?
