RE: saving in EPS
Also, there's one other small detail: Flatten image merges everything into the background layer which has subtly different properties than the others layers. Merge visible layers merges layers but not as a background image. This is especially useful for creating transparencies. When you go to select the color you wish to delete, if you are selecting from a background layer, when you delete, it will become your selected background colour. If you select from another layer, when you delete, the space remaining is transparent. So when I create transparent images, I always use "merge visible layers" rather than "flatten image".

RE: saving in EPS
Stephan - The difference between flatten image and merge all visible layers is this: - Flatten image merges all visible layers to the bottommost displayed layer and discards hidden layers. - Merge all visible layers merges the visible layers to the bottommost displayed layer and preserves the hidden layers.

Excuse me, but I've been wondering what the difference between Flatten Image and Merge All Visible Layers is? Flatten Image = Merge + Threshold Alpha? -- -Stephan / / tisprut productions [tm] http://wiktor.dk/~stephan
