Choose Flatten Image from the Layers panel menu or the Layer menu.

All your layers are combined into a single background, as shown in Figure 8-10.

If you mistakenly flatten your image, choose Edit ⇒ Undo or use your Undo History panel. (If you’re not familiar with the History panel, see Chapter 1 for details.)

Figure 8-10: Flattening combines all your layers into a single background.

Merging layers

Unlike flattening layers, where all layers get combined into a single Background, you can choose to merge just a few layers. Also, remember, when you do choose to merge all of your layers, they combine into a single layer versus a Background.

You can merge your layers in a few ways. Here’s how:

Select only those layers you want to merge. Choose Merge Layers from the Layers panel menu or the Layer menu.

Display only those layers you want to merge. Click the eye icon on the Layers panel to hide those layers you don’t want to merge. Choose Merge Visible from the Layers panel menu or the Layer menu.

Arrange the layers you want to merge so that they’re adjacent on the Layers panel. Select the topmost layer of that group and choose Merge Down from the Layers panel menu or the Layer menu. Merge Down merges your active layer with the layer directly below it.
