Steve Oakley Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 can merge layers actually marge layers ? I don't mean make a new layer combined from the layers you had selected. I mean actually merge the selected layers together into one and done. generally speaking I merge layers to get rid of layers that are done and only contain part of the combined final layer... so yes I really want to get rid of the parts and combine into a single layer also nasty bug when merging layers : create 4 layers where each layer has 1/4 the image filled, the rest empty. its a simple grid with each 1/4 corner filled. you count them : top right 1, top left 2 bottom left 3 and bottom right 4, stacked with 1 at the top. try to merge them now. you can only manually merge 2->3, 3->4. if you group select it makes a new layer once you you. manually / single merge 2 + 3 +4 ok. the result is the area of 1 is still empty. if you now try to merge layer 1 into the lower layer, the alpha channel reverses leaving area 1 solid, but areas 2-4 empty as the result. the work around ? move the layer combing 2-4 ABOVE layer 1, then merge that down and it will work correctly.
