I have one question that is important for fast productivity, can I copy your donut just once and paste it many times ?

[katradiction]

For some reason mine doesn't have the freehand menu, it just selects the entire image and gives me the "free-form, uniform, distort" etc menu.

How do you copy and paste on the same layer?? I don't want to create more layers. I want to be able to copy something and paste it within the same layer that I copied it from. Is this not an option?

So I followed exactly what you have shiwn and for some reason it wont let me move the duplicat around freely it just allows me to change the size. What am i doing wrong? I noticed you had snapping selected? Please
