I'm using Photoshop 2024 v.25.1.0 on a Mac and I am wondering if there is a quick key shortcut to flatten an image?  I've searched older threads, but those solutions do not seem to be working for me.

    Thanks Euan, however, command E is "merge layers" I was hoping to have a quick key that emulated "Flatten image".

    in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

    p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

    you posted in "using the community" which is a forum about using the forums (eg, how to start a new topic etc).

     

    anyway, your post is now in the photoshop forum (https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/photoshop-quick-key-shortcut-to-flatten-an-image/m-p/14241135#M765817) where you'll get help from the photoshop experts.
