The easiest way to make a copy of an entire .psd file (or any file) instead of doing the old school method of select: copy: paste and then maybe dragging in layers (which believe it or not I used to do), you can just go to Image: Duplicate.

Here you can enter a new name if you want. Press OK and you have an exact duplicate no matter the file size.

Here is the duplicate..

Remember that you can highlight only a portion of the text and make alterations to it such as changing it to a different color.

If you right click on the top of the document window you have some options to choose from. You can duplicate the document right from here or go straight to the image or canvas size, etc.

Bring up the Image size dialog box (also under Image: Image size). Now change the dimensions.

Try entering an amount that’s half of what is there. When you have constrain proportions on, it will scale the image down automatically to the proportionate value so you only need to change one of the entry boxes.

Here I’ve gone from 800 to 400 @ 90 dpi (the original resolution). You’ll notice that obviously the image is smaller and half the size that it used to be.  Note: Get the Basic Photoshop training program if you want to hear my version of Dr. Evil’s “pretty standard…”
