### 7.5. Duplicate layers

The Duplicate Layers command adds a copy of each selected layer to the image. The name of each new layer is the same as the name of the original layer, but with “copy” or a number appended to it.

Note that if there are any parasites attached to the selected layers, they are not duplicated.
