Apologies, if this was asked before but I couldn’t find an answer to it.
Is there a way to merge a layer, with alpha inheritance on, into all the layers below it, that are in the same group, but without merging all of them into a single layer?
I am going to illustrate this with an example:
Here I have a picture with some lineart on the very top followed by some empty layers. These are not important for the question.
In the folder called “Color” I have several layers with flat colours mostly named after the colours that were generated from “Colorize Mask” and “Split layer” function. I then have three layers on top, in this case “Color Dodge”, “Multiply” and “Screen” (the exact type shouldn’t matter). I can now merge all the layers in the “Color” folder, but what if I want the base colour layers still separated? I could do quick groups with the duplicated blending mode layers and each of the base colour layers separately. Then I could merge them separately to arrive at the desired result. This is rather tedious and seems inefficient. Is there a faster/more efficient way of doing this?
Interestingly enough, I also tried to look for a way of doing this in CSP with a layer that is clipped to a folder, but it seems that program also does not have this functionality.
