If you only have two layers, just go to flatten image under you Layers menu on top. If there're more then two, I'm not sure...

If you have a PC hit ctrl+E.. that will merge the linked ones, if you stand (click on it once) on one of those layers in your layer window.

You forgot tell me how to link.

Also, I failed to understand the second part of your reply starting with "if you stand..."

In the box with all your layers, you have a kind of link-sign (like an Cool.. at the top of that box.. above all the layers.

If you go to one of the layers you want to link click on that layer once. Now go to the other mayer and click in the box next to that layer, which below the 8-sign.

Now they are linked.

If you stand= click on that layer once in your box of layers.

Hope this helps..
