search google for 'fosi' and get the 'Eye Candy 4000' and 'Xenofex' plugins - loads of good filters like 'drip' etc, saves time 'smudging' :D
:lol: Laziness at its pinnacle. :DQuote:

i prefer 'user friendly' :D
you can either 'flatten' or 'merge visible' in the 'layer' menu -Quote:

or if you dont need the full pic, just link the layers you want and 'merge linked' -

then you can just drag and drop the layer/pic on to the new one. there are other ways but these are the easiest/laziest :P
and remember to 'undo' the merging/flattening on the original pic before you save so you'll still have all the layers :smilie4:
thanks agan!!! :D :D
I found a lazier way. :DQuote:

Image menu> Duplicate... - and give the copy a name.
If required, Ctrl+Shift+E to merge all visible layers of the copy.
Crtl+C to copy & Ctrl+V to paste into another image.
I've found it to be good practice to make a duplicate image of anything I want to temporarily modify, like flattening and unflattening layers.
It eliminates the need to undo any changes before saving (handy if you get lots of distractions and forget what you were doing), and you can just bin the copy when you're done.
That way you dont risk the loss of all your hard work on the original.
I speak from bitter experience here. <_<
pol, while we're on topics Photoshoppy, I have a question for you . :)
That screenshot you made of the tool pallette with the fly-out menu showing.
I've tried that in the past with alt+Print Screen and all I get is just the fly-out menu, without the tool pallette.
How did you do that? Was it done in just the one shot, or did you have to combine 2 images? :huh:
sorry uNz[i], i missed this
i just took a full screenshot, without the alt key, then cropped it to the height and max width, then used the rectangular marquee to select the parts above and below the pop-out and deleted those back to the transparent bottom layer.
the 'duplicate' image is a good idea, tho' i still prefer to just drag&drop from the layer palette once they're linked+merged, rather than copy/paste
*slaps forehead*
Ahh.. of course! I should have realised thats how it's done. Thanks! :D
Good work reminding me about linking layers too. B)
I learned the technique during an Adobe course a couple of years ago, but had forgotten all about it.
