### 3.6. Copy

The Copy command makes a copy of the current selection and stores it in the Clipboard. The information can be recalled using the Paste, Paste Into Selection, or Paste As / New Image commands. If there is no selection, the entire current layer is copied. “Copy” only works on the current active layer. Any layers above or below it are ignored.

#### 3.6.1. Activate the Command

- You can access this command from the image menubar through Edit → Copy,

- or by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C.
