Well I don't flatten then save. I keep the original with the layers so I can go back and edit if I need to. Saving to JPEG basically flattens the image anyways though right? I don't technically have to flatten them all myself before I save them, but when I save the file to another format, it's going to anyways.

The problem is still there regardless of whether I manually flatten or not. I'm looking at it just the way I want it (when I'm at 25% zoom to see the whole image) but if I save it to a jpg or anything else it looks different.

If I "Save As", select JPEG, and hit save, it will change even before it actually saves the file. On the JPEG options screen, it is already changed to look different.

The problem is that the image on screen isn't accurate to what your image actually looks like unless you are at 100%. So even if I'm done editing and I want to save what I'm looking at, it isn't really what the image is going to look like.

Edit: If someone needs it, I can link the actual Photoshop file if you want to see if the same thing happens to you.
