An automating merge layers tool for *.psd file.

• The widget trees of Game Engine's (UE4 Engine/Unity3D Engine) UI assets do not map well with Photoshop *.psd layers, some of *.psd features (e.g. the layer set, the mask, and the layer FX) cannot be imported to Game Engine directly. So this tool is designed for merging some group patterns in *.psd into a single layer, in order to eliminate the features that Game Engine do not support.

• Of course, you could combine groups in *.psd manually, however that's way too tedious.

• This tool supports merge the following patterns:
  • layers with layer pattern
  • layers with clipping mask
  • layers with mask
  • layer patterns with layer set
  • layer set with mask
  • empty layer / empty textblock / empty group / empty layer set
  • layer set naming with prefix "merge"
• Note:
  • The source file wouldn't be changed.
  • The tool duplicates the source file and generates a new file naming with postfix "_norm".
  • You will be asked to save normalized new file in somewhere you like.
