R C-R Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 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. retrograde 1 Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.4.1 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 Affinity Photo 1.10.8; Affinity Designer 1.108; & all 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrograde Posted August 19, 2018 Author Share Posted August 19, 2018 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! Sig.

HTee Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
