0:00 - Quick Overview
0:21 - Merge Visible Layers
Within the Layer menu is the command Merge Visible. This command combines all of the visible layers into a single layer. This is a destructive technique as the original layers are lost when combined. This makes reversing the future application of techniques like filters essentially impossible.
1:04 - Create Merged Copy of Visible Layers
To create a merged copy of all of the visible layers, thus leaving the original layers unaltered, run the Merge Visible command while holding down Alt/Option.
To have the merged copy be created at the top of the Layers panel, have either the top most layer selected or no layers selected. Having a layer selected will result in the merged copy being created immediately above that layer.
2:16 - Keyboard Shortcut
Mac: Command + Option + Shift + E
Windows: Control + Alt + Shift + E
3:15 - Smart Objects
The most flexible, non-destructive technique for combining and then altering layers is to first nest them within a Smart Object. The application of transformations and/or filters can be easily adjusted or removed when applied to a Smart Object.
This video includes just a brief overview of Smart Objects. For more details, this video may prove useful...
