    After your step where I merged Visible Layers, I have locked layer.

    and go to Layers -> Merge Visible Layers

    So, I am not able to maek next step

    Then apply a gradient overlay style on the merged layers

    There is locker sign on the layer and when I bring the mouse to, tip says “Indicated layer is partialy locked”

    Hi, Ilijas. You should still be able to apply a gradient overlay on the merged layers even if they are partially locked.
