Is it possible to flatten a shape which has a blend mode applied to the shape ?

I don't understand ?

Lets says you have

Gradient set to overlay
Placed image underneath the gradient

You need to select both items and flatten transparency. The result will be one bitmapped image, but will look the same as the 2 separate items previously. The blending mode will be gone, as it was calculated into the bitmapped image with the flatten transparency command.

If the final result still needs to be printed at 200% is the "bitmapped" outcome of this a problem? By "bitmapped" I assume you mean its been converted to a "raster" "pixelled" image instead of vector artwork?

Hi StrongBeaver,

Are you able to provide a visual/screenshot?

Thanks,

In the first image, the layer is placed on top of the white shape.

The second image, the same image the blend mode is set to overlay. I'd like to flatten the layer with the blend mode overlay to get the same results as does the blend mode overlay ?
