    How to: Combining shapes but get rid of dozen editable paths?

    That's true. What ever works, man... Actually I finished my work in Illustrator by using pathfinder tool. But it's nice to know how to do this in Photoshop where I usually do all my prework if the end product is vector based.

    Resizing quality and 8/16 bit.

    Well, that depends. :) If you have a let say gradient background (w filtered layers) which looks compressed in 8 bit mode, when you switch it to 16 bit mode it becomes smoother.

    Resizing quality and 8/16 bit.

    Best way to see difference is use gray color and gradient tool. Change between 8 and 16 bit. You can see how much smoother 16 bit is. Notice that in 16 bit mode there is fewer options in filters. I usually change to 16 bit after everything is 99,9 % ready.

    [Help] Flag on wall?

    Put new one over the older one, put say like a 60% opacity to new one so you can thru, use transform to put new one in same scale and tilt as an older one, use layer mask to cutout overlapping edges, put 100% opacity, finalize and you should be done.
