Need help with PSE 3

[hoskinsjan]

Hi
Just wondering if anyone can help me with this.

Once a LO, with all layers have been flattened in PSE 3, how can I edit the LO again.

Thanks in advance.

You can't, as far as I know. Once it's flattened you can only add more layers on top. I usually only flatten before I save my web version, and then I immediately undo the flatten layers command.

Maybe someone else knows a trick?

Oh, bugger. My existing LOs will have to stay the way they are. Oh well, will have to remember this hint tho. Thanks Meg.

nope, no unflattening, that info is discarded and it's now as you see it!

I like the File>Save for Web because you can resize it in there, and it automatically flattens and uses 72ppi, without touching your original. I never have to flatten anymore, and I've never lost a layout by saving it at the smaller size or flattened by accident, since I started using that.

Ok, thanks guys. My existing LOs will just have to stay the way they are (just don't have time to remake them). Will have to remember not to flatten with any new LOs I submit.
