No problem, hey…I didn’t lie that time! For a 17 year old punk that is hard to do. Phil would be proud! =) _Inside Joke, only lostinbeta and other mods will understand_ ---

Click on one of the two layers you want to link, then look at the other layer that you want to merge the selected one with. There should be a little box on the left and when you click on it a ‘linkage’ icon should be seen, it kind of looks like a 3 link chain. Then go to the top menu and select: Layer \>\>\> Merge Linked. That should work in any version of Photoshop that you are using! ---

Or you could just hit CTRL+E to merge the current layer with the one below it. I didn’t even think of the RGB thing… good thinkin Dan. And yes, Phil would be proud :beam: ---

Chaning the position of the flare to be more towards the middle of the document should help. [Previous page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/trying-to-create-3d-crytals/8480.md?page=1)
