Methods to Duplicate Layers

Photoshop Elements 14 usually has multiple ways to accomplish a task.  Duplicating layers is no exception.  I use most, if not all, of these methods at one time or another.  So let’s look at a few options to duplicate one or more layers.

From the Menu Bar: Layer> Duplicate Layer or Alt + L> D> OK.

In Layers Panel:  Right Click on the Layer(s) to duplicate> Duplicate Layer> OK.

In Layers Panel: Select Layer(s) to duplicate> Drag up or down.

In Layers Panel: Select Layer(s) to duplicate> Ctrl + J.

Finally, you can drag the layer(s) you want to duplicate to the Create a New Layer icon.

In every case above, you can select one or more layers to duplicate.
