### 7.5.27 Fix Layer

Fix Layer removes all special attributes of a layer and sets them into the layer. Special attributes are layer styles, rotations, scalings and so on.

Fix Layer tries to make the smallest changes possible. If there is - for example - a scaled and rotated vector layer, the scaling and the rotation will be calculated into the layer. The result will still be a vector layer. But if the vector layer owns a layer style (for example a shadow), the vector layer will be converted into an image layer containing this shadow. Similar is the effect if applied to a text layer: the scaling of a scaled text layer will be removed and the font size and the character width will be adjusted appropriately.

If you hold Shift while calling this function, the layer style will be ignored. Only an existing scaling or rotation will be calculated into the layer. The layer style is left untouched.
