I’ve had the same problem with two different effects.
effect 1- white background layer and a black layer over it the black layer set to disolve and opacity at 99 to get lots of white dots. My goal is to then apply a radial blur to get a "zooming through space look. When I merge the layers, the size of tyhe dots decreases and the number of them multiplies. When I blur it the effect is more dense than I wish.
effect 2-I created a sand background layer using noise and lighting effects. I the duplicated it a few times and painted on a mask, inverted it and deleted the exterior leaving me sandy images which I apllied some bevel, and used the multiply setting so that it looks like someone was writing in the sand. when I merge the layers, it changes. The color and detail in the upper layers gets washed out and completely destroys the effect I was going for.
I think it has something to do with ‘invisibility’, but I dunno!
Can anyone sort me out?
