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.
