Stamp Visible Missing Photoshop 24.7.0 [PS 2023]

I have a stack of six layers. I went to use "Stamp Visible" as I always have by selecting the upper most layer and using the shortcut of "Shift+Option+Command+E". But I did not get a Stamp Layer at the top of my layer stack. I figured that my shortcut was missing in an upgrade that I did, so I went to look for the "Stamp Layers" selection in the menus but I can't find that either. So I'm a little stuck without a little bit of help.

 

I'm in PS 2023 v24.7.0, using a Macbook Pro with Ventura 13.1

 

In advance, thanks for the direction.

 

Marc

    Resetting the photoshop preferences might restore the keybord shortcut.

     

    Go to Photoshop 2023>Settings>General, click on Reset Preferences On Quit and restart photoshop.

    Just want to toss an opinion out there for you. While I used to use this all the time as part of my workflow, I just create smart objects now - might be something to consider in your workflow.

    In photoshop go to Layer and hold down the Option key while clicking Merge Visible and you'll do a Stamp Visible.

     

    As far as the shortcut not working go to Apple>System Settings>Privacy & Security>Full Disk Access and add the Adobe Photoshop 2023.app from Applications/Adobe Photoshop 2023.

      Jeff,

       

      Thanks for the reply. Option and clicking Merge Visible does the trick and got me back to work...thanks.

       

      I also followed your instructions for getting the shortcut to work, but I have not had any success there. Given this I went to create the shortcut (Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts), but I am unable to find the selection "Stamp Visible" in the choices. Is there is a further solution I can try?

      In Keyboard Shortcuts, you will find Merge Visible Layers. Adding the "Do It Better" key, aka the Option key keeps the initial layers while creating a new merged layer. You won't find Stamp Visible.

       

      Merge visible layers

      Control + Shift + E

      Command + Shift + E
