I am trying to save a photo taken from my app to app’s own photo album (solution here http://www.touch-code-magazine.com/ios5-saving-photos-in-custom-photo-album-category-for-download/).

But image is saved in the Camera Roll and then creates a link in my own album. It's possible to save image to app’s own photo album without duplicate in Camera Roll?

Thanks!

Your application have its documents directory in which you can store images. Check this example-> (friendlydeveloper.com/2010/02/…) Hope it helps! – Hemang
Thank you Hemang! But the photos must be in a unique photo album and can be seen in the iphone photo application. – Paul Grant

You can save the images in document directory and can also fetch from documents directory wherever You want to use the image. – Minkle Garg

unfortunately this is not possible. The Photo-Library works in the way that every photo in an "own photo album" is only a reference to the actual photo that is saved to the Camera Roll.
