HT4101 Importing optimized photos only to iPad from SD card via CCK

I want to store iPad optimized photos (JPEGs?) on my iPad so I can organise and view them but don't want to store the original format files on the iPad as well & take up the extra space. I don't have easy access to a computer so I am loading the photos directly from an SD card to the iPad via CCK rather than going via iTunes. Is this how CCK works by default or do I need an extra step ( e.g. deleting original format photos from iPad) to end up with this outcome? I have the new iPad and the Lightning to SD CCK. Thanks!!!!!!

You're doing it correct. Just make sure the file name format is correct
Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
