Given that you can either raise or lower the blue brush up and down when selecting either flatten or raise (and move between positive and negative values), what is the difference in sculpting outcomes when using these two options? Thank you!

I think I understand the question, but apologies if not.
When you use the flatten tool you can raise or lower an area and flatten it out, so for example if you want to flatten a green before adding slopes to it.
When you use the raise tool, let's say you have your green slopes in place but you want to lift the whole area without removing all those lovely slopes that you painstakingly put onto your green, you can raise or lower the whole area and the slopes will remain.
So in short - flatten will do exactly that and flatten the area. Raise will lift or lower the area without making it level

Depends which brush you are using.

Cottyuk,
Yes, I think you're getting to it. In the world of the diffuse round brush, page 4 2k21, what I think you're saying is when you choose "Raise" it wont bring depressed areas flush with higher areas - but rather it will lift the entire area. Contrast that with the "Flatten" brush, which is analogous to running an iron over the area. If so, is there a point at which it won't flatten any more at a particular height (say, 0' 4'') and you have to adjust to see further results?

One raises things BY that height, one flattens things TO that height. They both use the center of the shape's height as the starting point, and the fuzzier the edge, the more the effect diffuses away from the center.
I use the blue landscape brushes, don't think I've used the red 'sculpt' brushes more than a handful.
