After merging my layers, it seems that the adjustment layers do not apply. The same happens when I export on jpeg also. Is there a reason?
To make you understand the whole process:
I scanned some documents and came up with pdf files that contained the scanned information. I exported them to jpeg and later imported them in Photoshop to edit them. I selected all the white parts, using Color Range, then selected inverse and Cmd+J the selection (which was everything but the white pixels). I put a white background layer on the back and the drawing looks exactly like the original, only difference was that I now had one layer with the pencil and one layer with the background, which will suit my later use better. I applied adjustment layers and now they do not apply after exporting, merging or flattening.
Anyone has an answer for this?
Thank you for your time.
Here are some screenshots to see my .psd file also

Try using auto resolution. I have this issue occasionally when working with Bitmaps and I believe it is to do with the bit ratio.

(This lowered the res to 266 which I corrected later)
I was able to use adjustment layers and have them take effect.
It's most likely because the adjustment layers are accounting for "white" background layer in their calculations. If you want to make sure "what you see is what you get" be sure to clip those adjustment layers (OPT click between layers / ALT for windows)so they only affect the layer with the drawing and nothing else. Hope this helps.
I did a quick test using your screenshot, quickly extracting the drawing and adding adjustment layers as you did, flattened it and saved it as a jpg. Then, I closed it and opened it again. The adjustment layers work for me so this may well be a technical issue.
