Using the Edit menu
Copying and pasting in Clip Studio Paint can be done through the Edit menu or by using standard keyboard shortcuts. This is how you do it using the Edit menu:
First, select the layer you want to copy on the [Layer] palette. Then, create a selection with the [Selection] tool or the [Auto select] tool. You can also use the marquee tool (M) to make your selection. If you want to copy multiple layers, hold down Ctrl or Shift and click on the required layers.
Once you have made your selection, go to the Edit menu and select Copy. This will copy the selected area to your clipboard. You can then use the Edit menu to paste the copied content into your desired location. In the Edit menu, there are two options for pasting images. You can either use the Paste command or use the standard keyboard shortcut Ctrl+V.

Using keyboard shortcuts
Copying and pasting in Clip Studio Paint can be done using standard keyboard shortcuts. To copy, use the shortcut Ctrl+C, and to paste, use Ctrl+V. If you want to cut whatever you've copied, you can use the shortcut Ctrl+X. These shortcuts are the same across various applications, including Photoshop and Paint Tool SAI.
You can also use keyboard shortcuts to zoom in on your canvas. Hold down the Ctrl key and press the "+" key. The canvas will zoom in gradually each time you press "+". You can use both Ctrl keys on your keyboard for this shortcut.
If you're using a drawing tablet or mouse to zoom in on the canvas, you don't need to click the zoom icons or use the menu commands. Simply hold down the Ctrl key and press "+" to zoom in. To zoom out, you can press Ctrl and "-" at the same time.
Additionally, Clip Studio Paint allows you to customise your keyboard shortcuts. To do this, go to the "File" menu (or the application menu in macOS) and choose "Shortcut Settings". From there, you can set your preferred shortcut keys for different commands and tools. For example, you can set the Rotate/Flip command under the View Menu Commands to a shortcut key that you prefer.
It's worth noting that if you're working with animations in Clip Studio Paint, you'll need to enable the timeline before you can copy and paste layers. Once the timeline is enabled, select any frame on it, right-click, and choose a candidate layer number. This will make the copied layer visible and editable in the timeline.

Copying and pasting layers
Once you have copied or duplicated the layer, you can paste it onto another layer. To do this, use the shortcut Ctrl + V. You can also use the Edit menu and select Paste. When you paste the copied layer, it will be placed at the same location it was cut from. If you want to place it in a different position, you can use the option Paste to shown position, which will place the layer in the centre of the canvas.
It is important to note that you cannot paste a copied layer onto the same layer. If you want to merge two layers, you can use the shortcut Ctrl + E to instantly merge them without having to move your mouse. Another option is to use the stamp tool, but it can be a little difficult to control.
Additionally, when copying and pasting, you can select a specific area within a layer to copy. To do this, make an active selection on the canvas before using the copy and paste function. Only the content within the selection will be copied. If there is no selection area, the command will apply to the entire layer or layer folder.

Using the Layer menu
To copy and paste in Clip Studio Paint using the Layer menu, follow these steps:
- On the Layer palette, select the layer you want to copy. You can do this by using the Selection tool or the Auto Select tool.
- Once you have selected the desired layer, go to the Edit menu and choose the Copy option. This will copy the selected area to your clipboard.
- Now, to paste the copied content, you have two options: "Paste" or "Paste to shown position." The "Paste" option will place the copied content at the same location it was cut from, while "Paste to shown position" will place it at the center of the canvas.
- If you want to duplicate an entire layer or a selection within a layer, you can use the Layer menu or Layer palette menu. Go to Duplicate Layer, and this will create an exact copy of your selected layer or layer selection.
- It is important to note that copying and pasting will always create a new layer. If you want to paste content into the same layer, you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + E to merge layers after placing the pasted content in your desired position. Alternatively, you can use the stamp tool, but it may be more difficult to control.
