Merge Layer Styles Action

[Welles]

Thanks, Mark! I'll use that Create Custom Shapes action on occasion as I have a large collection of dingbats.

Here's an action which I use a great deal. Alistair figured out how to do it and it was a very clever use of PS commands. I was after an action which would 'flatten' a layer with styles applied so I could then apply another filter and have it affect the previously applied style effects.

You would get this result if you created a new layer above a styled layer, linked them and Merge Linked. (Alternatively you could create a new layer below the styled layer, highlight the styled layer and Merge Down.)

As I use the technique sometimes dozens of times on an image I sought a one click answer. Assign an F-key to the Rasterize Style action and there you have it. (There are no restrictions on this simple action and it works for sure with PS 7 & 8)

Excellent, thanks Welles.

In case you're wondering... i wanted your action to have its own thread. Not be merged into my thread. Makes things confusing. ;)

Thanks from me, too, Welles.

Oh Jeez, this is getting embarrassing. [saywhat] I've mentally transposed online persons twice recently, only this mistake is particularly egregious.

Rantin Al figured out this action.

OK, I get the message. ;) We all end up doo-wally eventually, you've lasted well Welles. [confused]
