You can duplicate artwork (specifically artboards) in Photoshop by going to the Layer menu, Option-clicking it, and selecting "Duplicate Artboard" from the dropdown menu. This will bring up a pop-up window where you can name the new artboard.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Select the Artboard: Make sure the artboard you wish to duplicate is selected in the Layers panel.
- Access the Layer Menu: Go to the "Layer" menu at the top of the Photoshop interface.
- Option-Click (or Alt-Click) the Layer Menu: While holding down the Option key (on Mac) or Alt key (on Windows), click on the "Layer" menu.
- Choose "Duplicate Artboard": From the dropdown menu that appears, select "Duplicate Artboard."
- Name the New Artboard: A dialog box will appear, prompting you to enter a name for the duplicated artboard. Enter a descriptive name.
- Confirm the Duplication: Click "OK" to create the duplicated artboard. It will appear in the Layers panel, containing a copy of all the layers from the original artboard.
This process creates an exact copy of your artboard and all its contents, allowing you to easily create variations or iterations of your designs.
