Paste and move selection

[Kennethchase]

Is there a way to emulate the duplicate tool in photoshop?

i tried drawing a simple box then copy pasted it. Once the selection appeared

i tried to move it. Didn’t work.

thanks

Hi Kennethchase,

You can duplicate any object using ctrl/cmd + J shortcut. This will create a copy of the object directly over the original object. You can then switch to the Move tool (keyboard shortcut V) and move or transform the duplicated object
