Just connect your external hard drive to the PS3 via USB, navigate to the 'Photos' section, select the photos, and use the 'Copy' option.
I’ve done this a bunch of times. Plug your external drive into the PS3, go to the photo section, hit the options button on the photo(s) you want to move, and choose 'Copy'. Select your drive and you’re all set. Simple as that.
Pro tip: Make sure your external drive is formatted to FAT32. The PS3 won’t recognize NTFS!
Super easy! Plug in your external hard drive to one of the PS3's USB ports. Go to 'Photos' on the main menu, find the images you want to transfer, press the triangle button, and select 'Copy'. Pick your external hard drive as the destination, and boom, done!
