I am selecting all of the layers I want to have common and doing a merge. This seems as good as is possible.

See attached. The background layer is the original. The other layers represent each color that needs to be printed separately on the same decal sheet. This process uses a now antique Alps color transfer printer. The printer is not capable of shading the color intensity and so any attempt at straight up color printing results in a badly pixelated print. The attached red layer requires me to print that layer twice in magenta and once in yellow to get close to the desired color result. The Alps printer is one of the few printers that can print white. It is essential to print the white background color before printing anything else on top of it. Best, Ken Harstine Texaco Rev E.afphoto

Each layer is another print process. It is the difference between having six processes per page and forty print processes per page. Each process has three steps. A mistake on any part will ruin the entire print.

I have a stack up of layers that must remain in registration. Each layer represents a color. The colors are then printed one at a time on the same decal film in a printer. So I need to copy a group of layers and then fill the page with copies that I will then print one color at a time. All the green parts of all of the copies needs to be on the same layer. The same is true for the other colors. I don't know about groups. Would it help to group the stack before I copy it?

In Affinity Photo2: I want the group of layers that I copy and paste to still be in the same layers as the original. Now new layers should be created. How do I do this? It seems that no matter what I do I get a proliferation of layers.

I flattened the image and now it prints fine.

I have the same problem. It is only one jpg image that I just took with my camera. Other images still print just fine.

I seem to be having the same problem with 16.1.93. Cannot figure out how to get it to export the layers so they are visible in Acrobat.
