Background is burned to Layers in Photoshop

I see the top layer is Vanlig - which translates as ordinary so I assume means normal.

It also appears - as you commented that the top layer has elements of the background layer merged onto it. Almost as if the clone stamp has been used between the layers. I've not been able to replicate that at all using two layers here - no matter how much I move /scale the upper layer.

Are you able to screen record the actions that lead to this - so that we can see exactly what you are doing when the issue happens?

Without seeing your layers panel I can't really tell anything from the screenshot

Hi!

thanks for answering. Still the same problem in PS2020. Have a look at the photo. Just mixed 2 random photos. But as in the photolayer, you can see that the background is kind of merged into the layer.

Hi Kim,

That shouldn't be happening, could you please try enabling "Legacy compositing" located in Photoshop's Preferences > Performance, then relaunch Photoshop and let us know if it helps?

Also, would you letting us the the operating syste and Photoshop version you're working with?

Could you share a screenshot of how the layers look inside Photoshop?

Regards,
Sahil
