Merge in Photo. What am I doing wrong?


Recommended Posts

I tried searching, without success.

Working in Photo, I have say 10 layers and want to merge 3, in order to "heal" the joins.

In Photoshop I would select the layers (3)  and then merge into 1. That means I have 7+1.

In A Photo merge visible does just that so I have to switch off all the other layers to get the flat pixel layer. A PIA for sure. There must be an easier way that I have missed.

How can I flatten just the layers I select? Dare I say "like wot I've done in Photoshop for15 years +"

Thanks

Just looking at this again, there is a certain inconsitency in that Merge Visible right clicking in layers dropdown, works differently to Merge Visible in Layer menu, which works as it should.

What is the difference you're seeing between them? A couple of screenshots of the Layers panel before and after each might help demonstrate it.

Hi Walt 

In  taking screen shots I can see MY issue. In the layers dropown Merge Visible is just that, whereas in the Layers MENU merge selected is there.

It would be nice to have the Merge selected in the dropdown so that it works in the same way and as Merge layers does in PS.
