  1. Worth noting that the OPTION CMD SHIFT E shortcut merges all visible layers, but if you want only the selected layers, use OPTION CMD E

    • Yeah not sure why he didn’t mentioned the Cmd-Option-E shortcut, that’s the most powerful one to me.

      That shortcut will merge a copy of all selected layers into a new layer, preserving the originals.

      Select non-contiguous layers by using the Command key (Mac) to select, as opposed to Shift-clicking them.

  3. Nice ! Thanks every body !
