Dropping layers with the canvas

You can drop a layer or layer group to merge its contents with the canvas. Dropping a layer is a permanent change. Once layers are dropped, you can no longer access the layers’ content separately from the canvas. You can drop specific layers or you can drop all layers at once, this also known as flattening an image.

When you drop a layer, you can choose to create a selection based on the layer contents. If the layer has a layer mask, the mask is used to make the selection. For more information, see Creating and deleting layer masks and Selections and transformations.
