It depends for what you need it. For example if you are going to edit some layer's filters then you should, just to make sure you can go back later. The short cut for duplicating a layer is,

mac: Command + j

windows: control + j

using the quick section tool or the lasso tool (other are available but require more knowledge in tools selection in Photoshop) select the image or part image until you have the "running ants" around the selected are and if using a pc CTRL and J or Command J in mac will copy the selected area to a new layer

How do you adjust the transparency of a picture i photo shop?

Open the picture in Photoshop In your Layer palette, the picture will show up as "background". By Default, this background layer is locked. You need to unlock this layer. Just double click on this background layer, when a "new layer" window pop up just press "ok" ( or you can rename this layer if you want to ) If for whatever reason you can not unlock this layer, just grab this layer and drop it in the duplicate layer icon on the bottom of the layer palette ( the one next to the trash can ) OR you can right click on this background layer and select " duplicate layer" The point is that you need a layer that's not locked. If you choose this duplicate layer method, remember to delete this background layer or turn off the eye on this background layer in order to see the transparency working. When you have a layer that's not locked, in the layer palette, there's an "opacity" option that's set to 100%, change this percentage and you've got a picture that will be transparent. Hope this helps.
