Duplicating layers You can duplicate any layer (including the background) or any layer set within the same image. You can also duplicate any layer or layer set from one image to another. When duplicating between images, keep in mind that the resulting size of the duplicated layer depends on the resolution of the destination image. For example, if the source image has a lower resolution than the destination image, the duplicated layer will appear smaller in the destination image and when printed. (See "About image size and resolution" on page 92.) To duplicate and name a layer in an image: 1 Select the layer or layer set in the Layers palette. 2 Press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) and drag the layer name in the layers palette to the New Layer button ( ) or the New Layer Set button ( ) at the bottom of the palette. 3 (Photoshop) Name the duplicate layer or layer set, and click OK. You can also duplicate layers using the commands in the Layer menu and the Layers palette menu. To duplicate a layer or layer set without naming: Drag the layer name in the Layers palette to the New Layer button ( ) or New Layer Set button ( ) at the bottom of the palette. The new layer is named according to its order of creation.
