Photoshop Tutorial: Merging Layers

Video Transcript

"Adobe Photo Shop is a registered trademark of Adobe Systems Inc., and I'm in no way affiliated with Adobe. O.k., so on this tutorial I'm actually going to merge the layers together. So, what we want to do is merge these first four down. So, I'm going to click on my little arrow key and hit merge down. Now, as you can see the shortcut for that was command and control "E". So, I'm going to hit command "E, command "E", and now we have ourselves our final image right here, and you can tell, you know the grass looks a little crazy, but that's o.k. What I want to do is compare this image with our original. So, this is our original, and this is our new. Original, new, and as you can tell, the new one looks cartoony because of the grass. I'm actually going to go back in time, and I'm going to drop the opacity of my soft-light a whole bunch because I don't like that cartoony grass look. O.k., so you drop the opacity a whole bunch. O.k., so it looks a little bit better. What we want to do to check this, is you can tell it looks a whole bunch better. What we want to do is we want to check our gamute warning just in case for printing reasons and, I'm going to do that here on the next tutorial, but I just wanted to show you about merging down and comparing the two. So, this is our beginning and, that?s our final. So, next were going to us the gamute warning."
