Note: After
you have made a complex selection, it would
be wise to save the selection as a new channel
then save the file. That way if you close the
file or have a power failure, the selection

click File > Save. |
49. Next we want to create a new layer and fill the
selection with a single color. In this example, I chose
bright red. You can also use straight black if you
wish. This was just a random choice, but I did want
a nice strong color that would be easy to trace in
Streamline. Please view the QuickTime® movie below
to see how to do it step by step.

50. Next, click Image > Duplicate. In the
Duplicate Image dialog, click the "Duplicate Merged
Layers Only" checkbox. This will create a flatten image
(single layer). Click File > Save As and
give it a file name. In this example, I called the
new file "logo map 300.psd".
