nickbatz Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 You still have to create a useless pixel layer to merge visible if the top layer is an adjustment. This is worse than the Devil! Okay, not quite, but still, I vote for it to be fixed next update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomM1 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I get mixed results if I try Merge Visible from the layers menu. But if I right click over the top layer (adjustment layer), Merge Visible works.

The OP asked about the situation where the top layer is an adjustment -- IOW, not nested. In V1 I do not have to click on the text of the adjustment layer -- I can click on the thumbnail as well.

AFAIK, this 'feature' was added to 2.0.0 & unchanged in v2.0.3, so I do not understand what you are comparing about v2.0.0 vs. v2.0.3. Regardless, my context was comparing this behavior to the behavior in V1, in that I believe it to be a possible bug or oversight in V2.

I thought it was just that I was clicking in the wrong place all along. Hi @nickbatz just to confirm - in version 2.0.0 (Win) the Adjustments layer context menu did not contain Merge commands. Unlike the Pixel layer. So, in update 2.0.3, the context menu for Adjustments layer was added with the command Merge Visible. For information, in version 2.0.0 the context menu invoked on Layer Thumbnail or Layer name/text was identical. So different context menus (short vs full) depending on where they are invoked (thumbnail vs description) are new in update 2.0.3.
