Photoshop: "Merge Layers" on subset of adjustment layers
Make it possible to merge only a few adjustment layers into the base layer at a given time.
Currently, if a layer has adjustment layers, it is only possible to collapse the all of the adjustment layers into the base layer at one time.
It would be nice if a user could select some subset of the adjustment layers to merge with the original layer at a given time.
Example.
▼adj layer A
▼adj layer B
▼adj layer C
-base layer
If would be nice if you could merge, say, A and C without destroying or applying B.
▼adj layer A
▼adj layer B
-base layer with layers A and C merged into it.

The workaround is to select "adj layer C" alone and hit ctrl + e to merge down. Then change the z-order so "adj layer A" is directly above the base layer and hit ctrl + e to merge down.

BUT that may not preserve the appearance because you're changing the order of the math applied to the layer.

To have a one-operation solution for the specific use-case I presented would require a fix.
Thanks guys,

With this configuration, CRT+E does nothing at all.
Maybe I should have posted this in the "Bugs" section?
