: How do I merge layers without losing the layer mask? I have two layers. My primary layer has a mask and the other layer is the one I used for stamp and healing. I want to combine them

I have two layers. My primary layer has a mask and the other layer is the one I used for stamp and healing. I want to combine them and retain the layer mask.



As you see from my attempt above, the layer mask disappeared.

I tried approaching it by using a temp layer, moved the mask to it, merged my other two layers and then dragged the mask back to merged layers.



But I think there is a better way, isn't there?

New Layer
Merge Visible
Move the mask.


Using shortcuts it's very quick....


Command/Ctrl-Option/Alt-Shift-N
Command/Ctrl-Option/Alt-Shift-E
Move the mask (Hold the Option/Alt while moving to copy
the mask)


This also can retain the original layers so it's non-destructive.
