  • Hello. Any Photoshop experts here?
  • As practice, I am trying COLOR my black chair BLUE. As you can see from screenshots, I missed 2 spots that I had to color separately. But I don't want 3 separate layers, because doubtless, this is unproductive! I want to color all 3 layers the same simultaneously, rather than clicking on 3 separate layers.

Hello. Any Photoshop experts here?

As practice, I am trying COLOR my black chair BLUE. As you can see from screenshots, I missed 2 spots that I had to color separately. But I don't want 3 separate layers, because doubtless, this is unproductive! I want to color all 3 layers the same simultaneously, rather than clicking on 3 separate layers.

But "Merge Layers" is faded and greyed out! How can I merge these 3 layers then?
