[Flatten file]

Here to inform that I've flatten my wallpaper psd file due to the upload problem. I was failed to upload my original(not flatten) file to mmls. Then, I get know its need to flatten the file if we couldn't upload our file from the discussion board on mmls.

Way to flatten my file : select all the layers by holding 'ctrl' or 'shift' and click on those layers, then press 'ctrl' + 'E' .

Btw, I've copied a not flatten psd file in the submission cd.
