Hello!  I am trying to flatten an image in Photoshop while keeping my transparent background.  When I flatten, it gives me this white background instead.  Someone posted this, "thanks for the help. I've seemed to of figured it out. what I did was>merge all visible layers(except for the background layer),>command and click on the layer to select all>flatten image>command j>deselect> and then delete the flatten layer. this gave me the transparent background I was looking for." but it didn't help me.  Please help!

    You want to merge the layers, not flatten - as mentioned in your original post.

    Flattening is supposed to get rid of transparency.

    Which Photoshop are you using?  Is it Photoshop or Photoshop Elements?  If you can also include the version you are utilizing it would be appreciated as well.

    Hello Jeff a Wright,

    The version of Photoshop I am using is Photoshop CS5.1.  Whenever I flatten an image, it makes a white background, and gets rid of my transparent background.

    Don't flatten.  Delete the background layer, and Save as a GIFF or PNG.
