Adjustment layer headache

Hi,

I'm sure this is pretty elementary stuff but before I pull my hair out, can someone give me a clue?

I have a stack of layers in one document which are all scans of different pages in an article. I added two adjustment layers (levels & brightness) on top of the whole lot and I want to export the layers to files with the adjustment applied to each of the 13 pages.

Obviously I can't just flatten the layers otherwise I'll end up with just the top page of my doc. If I merge the adjustment layers with any single one of my page layers, it will only apply to that page. I tried to export the layers as they are but the adjustment is lost in the resulting files. I converted to a 'smart object' but I'm not too sure about the possibilities with one of those.

Am I missing something very obvious? Any help appreciated.

Regards,
Chris
 
Now there we go. What a knob I am. So simple and I was thinking of complicated solutions. Of course I can save as PSD as well but with the other layers temporarily deleted.

Thanks.
