# Merge layers into another layer

Use this procedure when you want to keep the layers you are merging intact. The result is a new merged layer plus all the original layers.

1. Click the eye icon next to layers you don’t want to merge, and make sure that the eye icon is visible for the layers you do want to merge.
2. Specify a layer in which to merge all visible layers. You can either create a new layer in which to merge or select an existing layer in the Layers palette.
3. Hold down Option, and choose Merge Visible from either the Layers menu or the Layers palette More menu. Photoshop Elements merges a copy of all visible layers into the selected layer.
