Ian Homewood Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotMyFault Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 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.

My posts focus on technical aspects and leave out most of social grease like „maybe“, „in my opinion“, „I might be wrong“ etc. just add copy/paste all these softeners from this signature to make reading more comfortable for you. Otherwise I’m a fine person which respects you and everyone and wants to be respected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Homewood Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 Thanks Timo, I thought there might be a way of doing it without creating a new file. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
