Digital BW, The Print

I don't know, but I choose not to flatten and all seems okay. I think it's
applicable to some of the more advanced layer blending options you can
access through double clicking on the layer-- you know the blending sliders,
knockout, drop shadows, fancy effects, etc. Some of those effects depend
upon layer order, apply modes, etc., and the the final effect of those
options get altered when the layers are flattened. But for the more common
types of tonal adjustment layers, I see no difference. In either case, what
we want is to NOT flatten the image, and so far I've not run into trouble.
