Titolo: photoshop 5 - chi mi aiuta per favore?

Ciao a tutti, ho un problema che da circa una decina di giorni non riesco a
risolvere, ecco di cosa si tratta:
- sto lavorando ad una foto (formato 28 x 40 - ris. 250 dpi) alla quale ho
applicato delle scritte abbastanza grandi alcune delle quali hanno come
effetti "ombra esterna" ed "effetto rilievo";
- fino a quando salvo e riapro l'immagine in formato PSD con tutti i suoi
livelli non mi si presenta alcun problema, ma quando devo per forza di cosa
unire i livelli e salvarla in TIFF in quanto questo è il formato richiestomi
dal laboratorio fotografico dove mi servo, mi accade che le mie scritte
perdano gran parte (ma non tutto) dell'effetto rilievo mentre l'effetto
ombra esterna rimane pressochè inalterato;
- il mio problema è che vorrei stampare l'immagine che vedo, cioè quella da
me creata e non quella che photoshop crea dopo avere unito i livelli, come
posso fare?
- esiste un trucco o un espediente per non perdere questo effetto al momento
dell'unione dei livelli?
Grazie anticipatamente.
Marco

I do not speak a word of Italian but with the help of an online translation
website I think I have the sense of Marco's problem.  Here is my translation
of the bad computer translation.  I hope I didn't butcher it too much.

Hi to everybody, I have a problem that from around about ten days I have not
succeeded  to to resolve. Here is what happens:
- I am working on a photo (Full size 250 dpis) to which have applied text.
Most of which have text effects, external drop shadow and relief effects. Up
to when I reopen the image full size  in PSD; at this level I do not seem to
have a problem. But when I try my strength to unite the levels and to save
it in TIFF...because this is the format required for me to use from the
photographic laboratory  I use. It happens to me that my text loses a big
part (but not all) of the relief effects. while the effect "external drop
shadow" (he maybe instead saying "external bevel". I can't translate for
sure)  it is nearly unchanged;
My problem is that I would like to lock in the image that I see and I
created and not that that photoshop creates after having united the levels,
Can I do it?   Is there a technique or shortcut  that exists for not losing
the effect when I unite all the layers?
Thanks in advance.

If anyone wants to tackle this just for the fun of handling Italian
Photoshop I will try to translate the answer back into Italian and send it
to him. I dont know why he would lose his layer effects in the flattening
process...unless of course he is moving from RGB to CYMK for the printer and
flattening when the pop up asks him if he wants to flatten.  He might be
losing the effect not from the flattening but the mode change.  I have the
feeling he will get his answer from one of the Italian Newsgroups he posted
to. I just thought it would be more impressive if he got a  response from
the best damn Photoshop newsgroup in the USA.
