Unless I am missing something, this should work:

1. Create a new "(Layer)" layer. 
2. Drag the desired pixel layers into it, maintaining the same layer stacking order.
3. Rasterize the "(Layer)" layer.

Maintaining the same stacking order in step 2 is important if either pixel layer includes transparency or their layer blend modes are different.

It's the method I use. It also works for all kind of objects.

Best regards!

Cool. The grouping layers then rasterized worked. Thanks!

Gotta say it seems a bit hidden and a bit of a work around though. Would love to see a merge selected layers button. :-)

Cheers!

Could be totally wrong but doesn't rasterizing the layers make it to where it would blur out once you make it too large? Kind of defeating the whole purpose of working with vectors no?  I hope I'm wrong, I'm fairly new to this stuff so go easy on me.

 

Thanks!

If you notice, they are asking about Pixel Layers, which are already raster images, even within the Vector Program.
