Eraesr Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Quick question. Is there a sort of "copy merged" function or an easy to use alternative? Sometimes I have a multi layer image and I wish to copy what I see (all layers), and not just one single layer. So far I had to merge down the entire image, copy the selection and undo the merge, but that's a bit of a roundabout way of doing things. Am I overlooking something or is this the only way to do it? Is a copy merged function a viable addition then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 what about Ctrl+Shift+F, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+Z? (Flatten, Copy, Undo) ?

MadJik Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 what about Ctrl+Shift+F, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+Z?(Flatten, Copy, Undo) ? That's what I do and eventually: Ctrl+Shift+F, Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Shift+N, Ctrl+V (Flatten, Select all, Copy, Undo select, Undo flatten, add a layer, paste) This lets you have a full flattened image and you keep the detailled layers. Before that I made a screenshot, add a layer, paste, move to adjust, and unselect...Keyboard is more 'automatic' Quote My DeviantArt | My Pictorium | My Plugins | Donate via Paypal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eraesr Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 allright allright, I'll ctrl-shift-whatever my way through there then. I thought a simple, well let's see, ctrl-shift-c would cause a whole lot less ctrl-shift-madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Man Dan Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I'd actually second Copy Merged (or Copy Visible, depending upon which program you're using). Another thing I think would be cool is a Sample Merged option for the Eyedropper. With that enabled, the eyedropper would select from the final composed image seen on the screen, instead of the color on that layer.

kem Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I advocate for "Copy Merged" function as well - I use "Copy Merged" very frequently when copying from graphical editor to a presentation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
