: Photoshop Text Layer Merging/Copying So I just started learning Photoshop a few weeks ago. I have ran into an issue while creating text layers. I have 2 small issues that I can honestly not

@Michele215

Thanks to the help provided by Naveen and Scott, I was able to solve the problem.

(Much appreciated Naveen and Scott!!)

Where I got confused was right clicking on only the text layer:


But once I selected the text layer and opened the layer menu, I found the merge down option which solved my problem:

Answer to problem no. 1
Just select the 2 layers and press Ctrl+E/Cmnd+E
or you can select the layers and go to >Layers>Merge Layers

Answer to problem no. 2
Right click on the layer you want to duplicate, and select duplicate layer.
You will get a Dialog box like this

Under The Documents drop menu you will be able to see all your open Photoshop documents, as well as an option for a new document.

To merge the layers....

Highlight the text layer in the Layers Panel

Then choose Merge Down from the Layers Panel Menu



To move layers between open documents, click and drag a layer from the Layers panel to the window of the other documents. You don't need to use copy/paste. If you really want to copy/paste, first choose Select > Select All, then copy/paste.

These are very basic Photoshop usage questions. (I hesitate to even say they are on topic) Reviewing the help files or using Google to find basic tutorials will assist you faster than posting questions here.

Its a good question for a PS beginner

Select both text and other layers you want to merge to and right click there you will find some option called "Merge Layers" then after your both layers will get merged and become one layer. And you cannot edit your text after merging.
