When you check the box it creates the optimised version and also copues the full res ones too, yes. Also, on the 5th gen ipod, the restrictions of the screen are met in such a way that it is completely pointless to burden the device with the conversion. You still have the full versions one the device and can access them easily through USB. Now, the iphone might be another story, but it's not what i'm getting at. The ipod still displays my photos in a way that is completely sensible, given the physical restrictions of the device.
