Is it possible to collapse selected layers of an image into just one layer ?
I be doing a skin for a Rally Mk2 'scort.
-
it's in your layers menu (the one among the file, edit bar.. ) and just go "flatten image"
-
"Merge Down" is another useful function if you want to keep some layers separate. It works by merging the layer you have selected down into the one below it - but leaves any other layers untouched.
-
Or use Merge Visible
-
merge linked is also a useful function.
-
ctrl+e
Merges linked if there are linked layers
Merges down if there are no linked layers
-
also to note, for more complex things, use your layer pallette to make folders to stick each set of layers in, makes things easier if they're well organised, before i "discovered" that, i used to have 90+ layers all set out with no organisation bar what order i made them in :p
