@Dobeluvr You misunderstand the purpose of the PICTURES area. This area is to show all the pictures on your device regardless of which album they are in. 

Moving a picture from PICTURES to an album does not create 2 copies. However if you copy a picture to an album, you will have 2 copies. One in the original album and one in the album you copied it to.
