How to duplicate Layer

Drag any layer (including the background layer) to the create a new layer button. This creates a duplicate layer and adds the word ‘copy’ to the right of the new layer name.

Choose the duplicate layer command from the layers palette menu or layer menu. Creates a duplicate and adds the word ‘copy’ to the new layer name

From the top menus choose Layer >New>Layer via copy or press Command +J / Ctrl+J ( mac / Pc) with no selection active. Crates a duplicate and adds the word “copy” to the new layer name.

With two images open, click on a layer in the layers palette and drag to the currently inactive image. Hold the shift key on the keyboard while dragging to center the image in the image you are dragging in to. Creates a new layer in the second document with the same name as the layer in the originating document.

Delay This tutorial took me a day longer than I anticipated to write (you’ll see why from the number of steps), but I hope you enjoy it! Final Image As always, this is the final image that we’ll be creating: Step 1 Open up a new document and go to view>show>grid. Then use your path tool to draw a path in the shape of half a wine bottle. Take your time with this step in order to get a really nice shape. Use a photo for reference if necessary. Step 2 Create a new layer called ‘bottle shape’. Then go to your paths palette and click ‘load path as a selection’. Then fill your selection with black. I had to go in with the lasso tool and tidy up a copy of edges. Duplicate this layer and go to edit>transform>flip horizontal. Then move the duplicate to complete the other half of the bottle shape. Then merge the two layers together. Step 3 Then go to layer blending options for this merged layer and apply a gradient overlay ranging from black to 110202 back to black.
