   – Hold `Shift` and click the layers on the canvas or in the Layers panel.
3. **Group the Layers**
   – Press `Ctrl + G` (Windows) or `Cmd + G` (Mac) to combine the selected layers into one group.
4. **Use Boolean Operations (For Shapes)**
   – With shapes selected, choose from the top toolbar: – Union
   – Subtract
   – Intersect
   – Exclude
5. **Flatten the Result (Optional)**
   – Press `Ctrl + E` or `Cmd + E` to flatten them into a single editable layer.
6. **Done**
   – Your layers are now merged, either grouped or as a single shape layer.
