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

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.

Copy Merged does just that - makes a merged copy in the clipboard. Stamping merged is done thusly (from Adobe Help):

Stamp multiple layers or linked layers

When you stamp multiple selected layers or linked layers, Photoshop creates a new layer containing the merged content.

Select multiple layers.
Press Ctrl+Alt+E (Windows) or Command+Option+E (Mac OS).

To stamp all visible layers, do the following:

Turn visibility on for the layers you want to merge.
Press Shift+Ctrl+Alt+E (Windows) or Shift+Command+Option+E (Mac OS).

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