Flatter
A flatter is a coloring specialist within the comic book industry that prepares the inked or sketched comic book page for the colorist with digital art software such as Adobe Photoshop by selecting the objects on the page and filling them in with a solid color called a "flat" so that the "flats" can be used by the colorist by way of the "magic wand" tool as a way to select each object during the rendering process to the exclusion of the other objects on the page so that the object's base color may be changed or so that the rendering may be accomplished.

Famous quotes containing the word flatter:
“To make a man perfectly happy tell him he works too hard, that he spends too much money, that he is “misunderstood” or that he is “different”; none of this is necessarily complimentary, but it will flatter him infinitely more that merely telling him that he is brilliant, or noble, or wise, or good.”
—Helen Rowland (1875–1950)
“Who dreams of a son,
save one,
childless, having no bright
face to flatter its own,
who dreams of a son?”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“I flatter myself [we] have in this country extinguished forever the ambitious hope of making laws for the human mind.”
