I am editing some older pictures and when I create a layer and then edit it, I am having many issues with the Merge Down or Flatten command. I am receiving a program error and now I am forced to try Corel systems to let me do what I want. Never had this problem before.

Which OS version?

Presumably you have pleanty of RAM and spare disk capacity.

Check the system requirements: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/system-requirements.html

A screen shot of the Layers pallete might help.

Windows 10 home on a i5 processor with 16gb of ram. I rebooted the computer and redid my saved edits and it worked. This has happened several times over the last two months.
Thanks for the info.

I also tried this on a new I7 processor PC and the same thing happened, so it should be program related. As it does not happen all the time, I shall have to wait until it happens again (hopefully never) before I can send any screen shots in. I have read that several others have had the same issue.
