A "Floating Selection" is a selection that has been pasted into the image but not given a final disposition for integration with the image. You must either make it a new layer or apply it to the current layer/layer mask. Until you make that choice the floating selection is not a layer yet which is why you can't flatten the image. A faster way of doing what you want (assuming I understood it correctly) and skipping the floating selection is to drag the layer from the old image into the toolbox. This will create a new image window with the same dimensions as the original with a single layer in it. You can then add a new layer that is black, drag it below the current layer in the Layers dialog and then flatten the image. -- Michael J.
