    Merge Down vs. Flatten

    When working in photoshop or Elements, I typically "merge down" any layers to convert to jpeg for uploading to byte. Noticed that some folks suggest to "flatten". Anyone able to explain the pros and cons of each? Thanks, Buddy

    Its almost the same thing. Flatten will compress all layers to one image no matter how many layers you have. But if you use merge down you have options to just merge visable or merge one layer down versus all layers. Again flatten will merge all layers no metter if you want to or not, merge you have options on which layers you want to merge.
