I have a flattening/image shift problem does not have to do with merging the layers or flattening in any variety of orders, and not with the blending modes – I experimented with all of these things. It seems to have to do with viewing the image at less then 100% while making adjustments to layers – specifically tonal adjustments. When flattening my images a noticable tonal shift occurs. The shift between layered and flattened images does not occur when viewed at 100%, but for larger files I can only view the entire image at around 25%. The image looks great with the adjustments I make at 25%, but when flattened the true appearance (that shown at 100%) reveals itself and it looks nothing like the preview at 25%. Zooming in to 100% is basically like working in the dark since it only shows a small piece of the image. Any experience with this would be appreciated.
