Duplicating an image in Photoshop is a quick and easy way to create a copy of your image that you can use for your own purposes. There are a few different ways to duplicate an image in Photoshop, and each one has its own advantages and disadvantages. The easiest way to duplicate an image is to use the Copy Image command (Ctrl+C/Command+C on Mac). This will copy the entire contents of the active document window to the clipboard, including any layers and masks. You can then paste this copy into another document or onto a new layer in your original document. If you only want a partial copy of an image, you can use the Copy Merged command (Ctrl+Alt+J/Command+Option+J on Mac). This will create a new layer containing just the selected parts of the original image. You can then delete any unwanted parts of the copied image using regular Photoshop tools, or by using the Eraser tool (E) with a soft brush setting. If you want to make multiple copies of an image, you can use the Copy Multiple commands (Ctrl+C/Command+C multiple times). This will create separate copies of the active document window with each copy containing a different portion of the original image. You can then paste these copies into other documents or onto separate layers in your original document. ..
