Preventing Duplicate Photos in Created Albums

is it possible to have the program prevent duplicate saves of pictures in an album. there are pictures that are sometimes saved in different folders, so while organizing pictures the same picture might appear in these different folders and you end up inadvertently saving the same picture numerous times in an album you have created

Welcome to the Magix user to user forums.

There is a facility within PM that allows you, the user, to set parameters of a search for duplicate images but there is no method by which PM can do this "automatically". It is, simply, a database. What you are asking for would involve some degree of AI, I think, that requires PM to actively scan the full data of each image, not simply its "name" and location on your computer.
