How do I make a copy of an image instead of collecting it?

I have been uploading my photos into a "New Photos" gallery and collecting them into the galleries they belong in. That way, my viewers can look at the New Photos gallery instead of visiting each of my other galleries to see what might have been added. I figured that every now and then, I'd just delete the New Photos gallery and create a new one. But I just found that i I collect an image into a new gallery and then delete the original gallery, the photos in the deleted gallery are also deleted from the gallery it is collected into.
I understand that that is how things are supposed to work, but I'd like to copy instead of collect. I saw that back in 2014, it was possible to do that. But I don't see it any more. Is there still a way to make a copy of a photo inside SmugMug, or do I have to upload it twice?

You can make a copy of a photo by using photo tools in Lightbox.

I see I can turn my process around. I can upload to the permanent gallery and then collect it into the New Photos gallery. Deleting the New Photos gallery still leaves it in its permanent gallery.
You can make a copy using the lightbox's edit tools (click the wrench). I don't think the edit tools anywhere else have a copy function, though.
