How do I duplicate a page in GIMP?

You can duplicate a layer in GIMP by navigating to Image → Duplicate in the image menubar, or by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+D.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

• Using the Menu:

  1. Open your image in GIMP.
  2. Look for the "Image" option in the menu bar at the top of the GIMP window.
  3. Click on "Image".
  4. Select "Duplicate" from the dropdown menu. A new window will open containing an exact copy of your original image.

• Using the Keyboard Shortcut:

  1. Open your image in GIMP.
  2. Press and hold the "Ctrl" key (or the "Command" key on macOS).
  3. Press the "D" key while still holding down the "Ctrl" (or "Command") key.
  4. Release both keys. A duplicate image window will immediately open.

This duplication creates a completely independent copy of your image. Any changes you make to the original will not affect the duplicate, and vice-versa. This is extremely useful for experimenting with different edits without risking your original work.
