When you import an image, Photoroom analyses your photo and creates layers for the background and foreground objects. Sometimes, you might want to create extra copies of the objects and one way to do this is to create a duplicate of a layer.

Duplicate layers are useful if you want:

  • Multiple versions of an object in the same design, perhaps in different colors.

  • To keep all the objects that are currently on a single layer, but have them on separate layers instead. You can duplicate the layer and then use the Cutout feature to remove parts if needed.
