Copy Pen allows you to copy a part of a photo or illustration and then paste it somewhere else. This is useful when you want to duplicate and increase a specific part of a photo or erase unwanted parts in a photo. In this example, we will erase the bird in the picture below.
Open the ①Tool Select window and tap ②Special.
Open the ①Special Pen window and select ②Copy Pen (Relative). Copy Pen (Relative) is useful for erasing unwanted parts of a photo, as shown in this example.
①Aim for what you would like to copy, and adjust the size of what you would like to copy using ②Thickness.
Cover the bird.
And we are done!

Copy Pen (Fixed), on the other hand, is useful when you want to copy and increase a part of a photo. In this example, we will copy and increase the number of maple leaves in the picture.
Start by drawing a maple leaf (to be copied from later), and prepare an image with one new layer added.
Select①Copy Pen (Fixed) and tap ② > . Change the ③Brush Pattern to "Felt Tip PenPen (Hard)", Set the ④Jitter of Copy Angle to "100%".
Change ①Reference Layer to "Specific Layer" and tap ②Layer. Select the ③layer you want to copy from in which the maple leaves are drawn.
Move the ①area you wish to copy and adjust the ②Thickness of the maple leaf so that the entire maple leaf is in the copy area.
Copy the maple leaf you have drawn. Since the "Copy Zoom" is 100%, the maple leaves you make copies of will all be in the same size, but by adjusting the "Copy Zoom", you can make copies of maple leaves in different sizes.
Now, let's change the "Copy Zoom". Tap ①Settings ,and change the ②Copy Zoom to "60%".
We have just successfully copied maple leaves in different sizes. You can now make copies of maple leaves in different sizes by adjusting the "Copy Zoom". The picture sure looks a lot more natural now with maple leaves in different sizes.
And we are done!
