Another thing, my hard disk space seems to be reducing rapidly. There seems to be lots of duplicate files etc. For example, I imported my photos to iphoto and then looked on the hard disk, there were about 2 or 3 copies of each photo (in modified, original, imported folders). Is there a system cleaner type app? I liked CCCleaner in Windows. Is there a similar one for mac?
Thanks.
Think is I like to have my own copy in my own folder. It a shame that iPhoto cant read them from that folder rather then import them to iphoto folder.

iPhoto is fine for organisation, you've most likely buggered up somewhere. To go back to stage one delete the iPhoto Library folder within pictures (default). Then go through your folder/location that you use for pictures and ensure no duplicates. Then load up iPhoto again and it will recreate its iPhoto Library folder, before adding pictures ensure you go into iPhoto > Preferences and ensure "move to library" (or similar) is NOT ticked. It will then add the photo's into your library without moving them.
When you add in more pictures don't use the iPhoto picture importer, just move them manually into your own folder (organised how you want it), THEN import.
