Hi

Apologies if this has been asked before, I can't find the answer anywhere.

When I have done an HDR merge (or I assume any other stack operation), how do I totally flatten the image to remove the sources?  I have tried merge visible and flatten and neither seem to do what I want, so I am ending up with documents much larger than I need because they still include all of the source images. 

I am using the latest version of Photo.

Thanks

Ian

Hi Ian,

to definitely get rid of all the history, just copy the merged pixel layer, and „create new from clipboard“.

Then save the new file.

If you used 32 color depth, the reduce to 16 bit.

I use iPad screenshots and videos even in the Desktop section of the forum when I expect no relevant difference.
