"What we are going to do now is learn how to copy layers in Photoshop so let's get Photoshop up. This is another extremely easy thing to do on Photoshop and of course it is one of the basic things you should learn how to do. I am just going to start a new document. I have got the default settings there. Now basically in layers you will find over here on your right side and I am going to pull it up so you can see what we are doing and drag down this a bit and as you see we have our background white right there. Start a new layer and go down to the little page turn icon down at the bottom and click on that and we get our first layer on top. Now I am going to draw a circle so we have something to play with and go to the circle tool and drag out, you can do whatever you want really if you want to draw something or view the photo and we put our layer here. To duplicate the layer all we have to do is click on the layer that we have to duplicate, drag that down to the same icon that we started the new layer with, let go and there we go we have duplicated our layer successfully.
