If I have a blending mode on a layer (Outer Glow for example), does anyone know a way to merge that into the layer?

What I mean is that it will still have the outer glow, but it's merged into the layer without having the actual blending mode active anymore.

I'm asking this because I find that blending modes slow the system down, and become a problem when trying to pick colours, etc.

Hopefully what I'm asking makes sense. Thanks!

Just create a new blank layer above and merge the two.

Thanks Auieos, I tried this and as a result I realized I may have asked the wrong question.

Here's what I meant (my fault, sorry):

I have a layer and its mode is set to soft light. What I'm trying to do is merge the soft light effect into the layer so I can just use 'normal' as the mode.

I hope that makes sense, sorry for the initial confusion
