    Question Layer properties change when i merge layers

    Hi all!
    Really great forum!

    A really strange thing is happening in CS3 to me.
    I want to merge 2 Layers. A and B.

    I have these setting on Layer A:
    Drop shadow
    Outer Glow
    Inner Glow

    Nothing on Layer B

    When i merge it, the result looks strange. It looks like Layer A gets a new "Outer Glow".
    But when i remove "Outer Glow" from Layer A before i merge, the result looks like it should, but it dosn't have the outer glow.

    My question is:
    How can i merge the two layers and keep the Outer glow on layer A?

    Default Re: Layer properties change when i merge layers

    I would like to add that my "Blend Mode" in "Outer Glow" is set to "Screen".
    When i merge, it looks exactly like i would set the "Blend Mode" to "Normal"
