Creating buttons and menus in Adobe Photoshop
61
In the Photoshop file, the Thumb layer can be above or below the Image layer. When you
use the button in DVDit Pro HD, the button frame always appears over the thumbnail of the
linked material.
DVDit Pro HD will distort the frame if necessary to fit the Thumb shape. For example, if
you create a button with a circular Thumb, DVDit Pro HD will distort the frame (by
squashing it horizontally), then crop the parts that are not within the Thumb:
Creating menus
Creating a menu in Photoshop is similar to creating buttons as described in “Basic layered
buttons” on page 57 . A Photoshop menu has two layers, which must be named
“Background” and “Overlay”. DVDit Pro HD rejects files with other layer names. For
details, see:
• “Background layer” on page 62
• “Overlay layer” on page 63
See also “Recommended image sizes” on page 54 . To create menus using these files, see
“Using layered Photoshop files to create menus” on page 119 .
