Duplicating

Affinity lets you duplicate layers to increase workflow or to temporarily create a 'backup' layer.

Edit Menu To duplicate selected layer content:

Do one of the following:

Power duplicate

If you duplicate layer content and then transform the copy, immediately duplicating the transformed content (via the Edit menu or the Quick Menu) creates another copy of the content and then automatically applies the transform again to the newer copy. In other words, the transform is applied accumulatively to subsequent duplicates.

Edit menu To power duplicate:
  1. Select one or more layers or groups.
  2. On the Edit menu (or the Quick Menu), tap Duplicate.
  3. Transform the duplicated layer or group, e.g. offset the duplicate from its parent.
  4. TapDuplicate again.
