Difference between merge and merge?
Posted: 14 Sep 2011, 21:36
I've noticed something odd:
Imagine two layers. The bottom layer has some flat colour areas. The top layer has some gray spots on white, it is set to multiply and 30% opacity. Bottom layer's stencil is on.
Now when I merge these two layers, I have to drag the top over the bottom layer (and in the dialogue set it to multiply again) to get the desired effect. Because when I select both layers and use the "merge" button, the result is much brighter than wanted! It looks as if the "multiply" layer setting is completely ignored.
Am I right?
