Merge layer without keeping transparency.

[PutinHuilo]

I have 3 layers with object on each (PSD attached) when i merge the layers objects from layers with "opacity 50%" and "fill 50%" keep transparency even though new merged layer is having opacity 100% or filled 100 %.

How can i merge layers without keeping the opacity?



Sort of like when you go to Layer > Flatten Image it creates objects that are not transparent however its all objects and background are now one,
i need the same effect of losing transparency on merge in general, but without merging with background.

Make the opacity layer back to 100% and the Fill layer also.
Select all three layers (shift+ctrl+click on each thumbnail)
Create a new layer as bottom layer (select fill 50% layer and press and hold ctrl+click new layer icon)
Fill the new masked bottom layer with white while the three layers are selected (marching ants)
Make the fill layer back to 50 % and the Opacity layer also.
Deselect all and save as PNG.

It is important to start with all 3 layers at fill and opacity 100% because otherwise it will affect the white bottom layer.

Thanks for response, i am under impression that saving can affect quality of image since its not lossless (with rectangular boxes its not visible, but if it was more complicated image, it can potentially make it more pixelated or blurred).

I managed to eliminate step with saving a and opening PNG by merging down "opacity 50%" and "fill 50%" layers on the white background created right under them and new layer was not transparent anymore (since it has solid white background under transparent object).
