Strange when I start working with layers I assume I'm going to need to flatten the image and look in the layers menu. But that's becuaee I've used Photoshop and I can see the other point of view. So how about the compromise of leaving the option in the Image menu, but adding a button to the layers palette. It would require a "Are you sure...." confirmation dialog in case users hit it by mistake. A mention in the layers section of help would be great.

It seems to me that the option to Flatten Layers should reside in the Layers menu and not the Image menu. It seems intuitive that if you perform layer operations that you would look in that menu to flatten the image prior to saving as a jpg or bmp file. What made things more confusing for me is that the option to flatten an image is not mentioned in the help under the section relating to layers. I would also suggest adding a flatten layer button to the layer palette.
