Use the Duplicate option to create a copy of a layer in a design. For example, the image below shows a design that has two bags of handmade soap. The bag on the right is the original layer and the bag on the left is a duplicate layer, resized to look larger and rotated.

Photoroom on an android phone. It shows a design showing two identical bags of handmade soap.

Tip: Photoroom may include several objects in your photo on a single layer. To separate them on to different layers, duplicate the original layer. Then, on the duplicate layer, use the Edit Cutout feature to remove any parts you don't want. Repeat this process until you have a layer for each object. To learn more about the Cutout feature, see Add and remove parts of an image with Edit Cutout.
