I HAVE IMAGES WITH SEVERAL LAYERS SOME OF WHOM HAVE DIFFERENT STYLES APPLIED. WHEN I TRY TO MERGE LAYERS DOWN OR MERGE LINKED LAYERS THE APPLIED STYLES ARE CHANGING. I AM WORKING ON PHOTOSHOP CS 8. I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY METALLIC AND GLASS OR IRIDESCENT STYLES HAVE CHANGED THE MOST. I HAVE TRIED EVERY WAY I CAN THINK OF TO GET THE FINISHED IMAGES DOWN TO ONE LAYER WITHOUT EFFECTING HOW THE FINISHED IMAGE SHOULD LOOK. IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEAS PLEASE HELP THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY.

Moon,
     I've had similar problems with styles and merging also.  i have found that if you make a blank layer below the layer with the style effect and merge those two it for the most part helps preventing your effects from combining or changing when you merge them all into a single layer.  You'll have to make a blank layer for each layer that has an effect and merge them so that it becomes a regular layer then merge all the regular layers into one.  It doesn't work 100% percent of the times but it should resolve most of the problems with the effect layers.  Hope this helps.

I basically do what stew does. no problems or changes happen. just create a new layer under the styles layer and merge them.**
