Hi,

Wondering if anyone can anyone explain why:

I have 28 photostream albums on my MacBook, totalling 6302 photos (iPhoto tells me this uses 5.6GB memory).

The only photos I have on my iPhone 5 are the photostream albums syncd (+ 54 others I have recently taken), yet photos take up 11.26 GB memory on my iPhone (it states that there 6356 photo on it).

Thats almost exactly double the memory. Is that right enough, or am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks in advance if anyone can shed any light.
