Not sure I understand the question. Are you trying to save as a jpg? File Save As Web... then reduce the quality/file size.
50% of the time I'm 100% right.

worst case, do a screen capture I guess, right?

No Photoshop whiz but,
Can you add a background color or even shirt template as another layer.
Or, can you just take the design into Illy with a shirt template or background color and save as pdf or eps or jpg?

It will get read here, but maybe this would be better served in the Graphic Software section for Pphotoshop related questions

What do you think Dan? You're more of an expert in both fields.

In Photoshop, I would make a duplicate file, merge all the layers, and if it looks correct, save as a jpeg and send it off. Remember to make a duplicate, don't do this to the original...

Flatten the image, "save a copy" as .jpg.

Just saving the file as a JPEG should automatically save it flat. Make sure that colored background layer's visibility is turned on.

If you're looking at a spot channel file, you need to merge spot channels (in the palette menu) and then save as JPEG.
