All right, welcome back.
So in this lecture, we're in to learn how to merge visible layers.
So what we're gonna do is we're going to go into our layer panel here and I'm going to click on this.
The Layers panel menu and we're going to do merge visible.
And what that's gonna do me control and control ze.
And let's do that again, just so you can see what I did here.
So let's do merge.
Blair's menu.
And then merge visible.
So you see what that did emerge?
Everything together.
OK.
Now another way to do that.
If I go down here, let's create a new layer and make this simpler.
So I'm going to hold shift and select 13 and drag this down to the bottom and I'm going to hide all
these Savi's select them all total control and karma.
That's going to do it for me.
And then.
Give this layer green.
Right.
So if I select these three layers here or just layer 15 and merge visible.
What it's going to do is it's going to grab the three layers below it and merge them together.
So if you were to do this at the top, even though these are hidden, it would group all these together.
So let's do that once just to see how it looks.
OK, so let's merge layers.
Now, these aren't selected.
Now they are, but if they weren't, then.
Back turns to this control.
Come on.
There we go.
And if I do merge visible.
It's going to merge everything together.
OK, so you only want to do this if you want to convert this to an image which you can just export as
or if you're done editing.
You don't need to edit anymore.
I highly recommend at least having one source of layers that you can edit completely and then create
another BSD with the merged layers.
That way, if you need to edit something, you can just a little trick.
Because the last thing you want to do is you want to do a project, merge the layers.
Merge visible, and then you leave the job or it's a freelance job, and then the next person comes
in and they can't edit anything because it's just a flat image.
So they have to redo all the work.
So, like I said, Merge Visible is a great tool, but you only want to do it where the edits are easy
to make.
All right.
So thanks for watching us in the next video.
