For things on a layer you’d like more of, use Duplicate to duplicate layers, creating a copy of the content and add it to new layers. If you’ve created a stuffed animal and need a shelf filled with them, this is your tool. You can even use it in combination with Merge.
Duplicating only specific content: If you are looking to duplicate only part of the content in a layer, to do this, use the Quick Selection tools, Copy, and Paste. A new layer is created for the selected, copied, and pasted content. At any point, if you want the content on the same layer as the original, you can merge the layers.
