To merge a group in Procreate Dreams, flatten the group after you've finished making adjustments to individual layers within it.
Here's a breakdown of how to do it:
-
Ensure You're Ready: Before merging, make absolutely sure you're finished editing the individual layers within the group. Once flattened, the layers become a single layer, and you can no longer modify them independently.
-
Tap the Group Name: In the timeline or layers panel, tap directly on the name of the group you want to merge.
-
Choose 'Flatten': A menu will appear. Select the option labeled "Flatten."
What Flattening Does:
- Consolidates all layers within the group into a single layer.
- Reduces the number of layers, potentially improving performance.
- Makes individual layer editing within that group impossible. You'll need to undo the flattening if you want to edit them separately again (if the history is still available).
Think of flattening like baking a cake; you can't take out the individual ingredients after it's baked! Make sure you're happy with the final arrangement before you proceed.
