Duplicating

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

To duplicate:

On the Layers Studio, select a layer or group.
Do one of the following:
- Long press on the document, and select Duplicate.
- From the Commands Menu, choose Duplicate.

Power duplicate

If you duplicate layer content and then transform the duplicate, you can immediately duplicate this transformed content. If you do, the newly created content will adopt the transform of the duplicate and will be also transformed again using the same settings. In other words, the transform is applied accumulatively to subsequent duplicates.

To power duplicate:

Select one or more layers or groups.
From the Commands Menu, select Duplicate.
Transform the duplicated layer or group, e.g. offset the duplicate from its parent.
Choose Duplicate again.
