Different to [photographic memory], where its more people just saying they can do it when they cant. Eidetic is the science; photographic is the myth.
People also tend to assume that being [eidetic] means you cheat in tests. If you are an Eidetiker (eidetic person) all I can say is get used to it. You know that game where there are ten objects on a tray, and it gets covered up after 30sec and you have to remember what was on there? We used to play that game in my family at Xmas but I was banned from playing it when I was 6 because my memory was better than anyone elses in the room, which made it unfair (apparently).

Can also be used to describe any kind of advanced [memory] skill/abilty/condition (depending on the circumstances of attaining a photographic memory).
