I just created an image with lots of shapes on it. I combined a group of 50 shapes so that I could apply the same drop-shadow to all of them easily.

The drop shadow worked fine and yet the shapes all remained individually editable, as if they were in a group.

That is absolutely brilliant. Thanks. :grin:

It is pretty awesome, isn't it! I think that might be a good topic to cover in one of the video tutorials on our new tutorials site. 🙏

Yes it is. A video tutorial would be a good way of making people aware of this feature.

The same does not work with a Layer Group with lots of individual shape layers.

Can you explain why "Combines shapes group" can do this, but not a collection of Shapes in a Layer Group can do this same thing. Seems like a strange restriction, but maybe I'm doing it wrong?
