Duplicating layers and folders
To duplicate layers and folders in Ibis Paint X, you must first select the layers or folders you want to duplicate. Then, open the Layer window and select 'Duplicate Layer' or 'Duplicate Folder' from 'Add Special Layer'. This will create a duplicate of the selected layer or folder, which can be useful when you want to make changes to a copy of your original work.
If you want to duplicate a specific area within a layer, you can use the Lasso tool to enclose the desired area. With the Lasso tool still activated, go to the Layer menu and select 'Duplicate Layer'. Only the area selected by the Lasso tool will be duplicated.
Another method for duplicating specific areas is by using the Copy Pen. First, select one of the three Copy Pens from the Special Pen window. Move the Copy Area to the place you want to copy and adjust the thickness to change the size of the copy area. This method is useful for duplicating, restoring, or erasing specific sections of your work.
It is important to note that the maximum number of layers you can have in Ibis Paint X depends on the type of device you are using. As the number of pixels (resolution) of the canvas increases, the maximum number of layers decreases. Additionally, the more layers an image has, the more storage space it will consume. When you are running out of available layers or are concerned about storage space, you can merge layers to combine two layers into one. However, it is important to remember that layer merges cannot be undone once you have left the canvas screen.

Copying and pasting without creating another layer
Once you have duplicated the layer, you can paste it onto another layer without creating a new one. To do this, simply move the duplicated layer to the desired position and merge it with the existing layer. You can do this by going into the layers tab and clicking on the merge layer button, which looks like a thick downward arrow pointing at two horizontal lines.
It's important to note that you cannot copy and paste without creating a new layer if you are copying between different illustrations. In this case, you will need to follow the standard copy and paste procedure, which does create a new layer. However, you can still merge this new layer with the existing one using the method described above.
Additionally, ibisPaint X offers a Copy Pen tool that can be useful for copying and pasting without creating a new layer. This tool allows you to copy a specific part of a photo or illustration and move it to another place within the same layer. You can access the Copy Pen through the Special Pen window and adjust its thickness to change the size of the copy area.
