Merge image layers
 
 
 

In Windows > Editors > Canvas Layer Editor, choose Layer >Merge below, Merge visible, or Merge all.

After you have finished sketching on two or more image layers, you may want to merge them into a single image layer. After you merge two or more image layers together, you cannot split them into separate image layers.

If you merge a shape layer with an image layer, you will end up with a single image layer. All shape properties will be discarded. The image will still look the same, but you will not be able to edit the shapes as shapes.

To merge an image layer with the image layer beneath it

  1. In the Canvas Layer editor, select the image layer you want to merge.
  2. In the Canvas Layer editor choose Layer > Merge below.

    The image layer is merged with the image layer beneath it.

To merge all visible image layers into a single image layer

  1. In the Canvas Layer editor, select any image layer.
  2. In the Canvas Layer editor, choose Layer > Merge Visible.

    All visible image layers in the canvas plane are merged into the lowest visible layer.

To merge all image layers into a single image layer
