    well make sure the thing your copying has something on it. make a selection, ctrl +c make a new layer ctrl + shift+n and then ctrl v on that layer and you should get what you selected

    Well when you have your selection made. You have two options. If you select just copy then it's going to copy whatever is in that selection for "THAT CURRENT LAYER" if you select "copy merged" then it will select everything that is viewable in that area.

    well to make it more accurate you can right click the little box on the layer to the left and select "select all pixels" this well select everything in a dotted line on that layer and than just do ctrl c and v on a new layer and it should copy it. make sure the layer you want to copy is select too! :)

    or you can duplicate the previous layer and then rename it.
