This command allows one or more external image files to be imported as one or more new layers. This has the same functionality as checking and unchecking the layer visibility checkbox. Swaps the layer visibility state between visible and hidden (and back again). Takes the active layer and combines or merges it into the layer immediately below it in the Layers Window list. This makes an exact copy of the active layer, including its contents, attributes and properties. The new layer will be named uniquely following the pattern described above (see Add New Layer). This deletes the active layer from the image. As all images must have at least one layer, the last remaining layer cannot be deleted. It is possible (and highly recommended) to change the default name to accurately reflect the contents of the layer (see Layer Properties below).

At the very least, you'll need to subscribe at $10 per month for Photoshop CC - that's $120 every year, for as long as you keep using it! That's a steep price to pay if all you're doing is cropping, resizing, and tweaking images.
