Running Win/PS 5.5...
Final layer stack:
1. Merged layer, 100% opacity, blend=normal
2. Hue/saturation adjustment layer, 100% opacity, blend=normal
3. Background (original image, completely filled w/pixels. No transparancy anywhere within the BG layer.)
Before creating new layer "Merged layer" I fussed and tweeked the Hue/Sat AL until I liked what I saw in combination with the BG layer.
Then, when I was happy with the results, created a new layer, (Merged layer) and while it was still active (and selected), executed
ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+E
shortcut to merge layers 2,3 and place the contents into layer 1. (I do this all the time... great shortcut. It's like a combination of EDIT/COPY MERGE + EDIT/PASTE [into the active layer] all in one shortcut.)
Sometimes, and I don't know why, the resulting layer 1 is "different than" (noticeably "lighter" or "darker" than) the image displayed when layers 2 and 3 are visible.
Same problem if I just flatten the image or try the EDIT/Copy Merge... + Edit/Paste commands separately.
I haven't found the right keyword combination to find a hit on the net, yet, nor have found a usable workaround on adobe.com.
Has this ever happened to you and if so, what did you do about it?
Thanks in advance...
