  64.     The <span class="guimenuitem">Flatten Image</span> command merges all of the
  65.     layers of the image into a single layer with no alpha channel. After
  66.     the image is flattened, it has the same appearance it had before. The
  67.     difference is that all of the image contents are in a single layer
  68.     without transparency. If there are any areas which are transparent
  69.     through all of the layers of the original image, the background color
  70.     is visible.
  71.   </p>
  72.       <p>
  73.     This operation makes significant changes to the structure of the image.
  74.     It is normally only necessary when you would like to save an image in
  75.     a format which does not support levels or transparency (an alpha
  76.     channel).
