Since 2017 update copy merged function is no longer working.  Is anybody else having this problem?  It is a major issue as I can no longer make a stamp in my workflow.

    Hi chrisl1966

    At what point is it not working.

    Is it grayed out/ or are you not able to paste after using it / or are you getting any error messages

    Hi, it is not greyed out but it does not create the pasted layer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Ps to see if that made any difference and it didnt

    Can we see where exactly we differ (if there is a bug it may help locate it)

    Start with two simple layers - background white - Layer 1 a black pixel square, the rest transparent.

    Ctrl + A (Select All)

    Shift + Ctrl + C (copy Merged)

    Shift + Ctrl + N (new layer)       - Enter for "OK"

    Ctrl + V (Paste into new layer)

    I get the merge layer pasted into the new layer

    Hi

    I am running Mac so it may be related to a Mac bug.  You add in extra commands that weren't necessary before.  You should be able to do Cmd + A then go to Copy Special/Copy Merged.  This should produce a merged stamp of all of the layers as it used to previously work.

    Possibly related.  I can't copy text.  It's not sticking to the clipboard.
